Abstract

The objective of this work is to develop a modeling tool for pre- dicting the impacts of waste minimization measures on wastewa- ter pollution control. The modeling tool focuses on predicting the fate of volatile organic chemicals (VOCs) in primary and secondary wastewater treatment. The VOC fate model is linked to an exist- ing wastewater treatment model for predicting biological oxidation in activated sludge systems. The VOC fate /waste water treatment model is incorporated into a process flowsheet simulator package for modeling the fate of VOCs produced from simulated industrial processes, allowing for assessment of waste minimization schemes. 1 Introduction An important factor in determining which wastes shoul
