Product Description: FROM THE INTRODUCTIONOver the past decade, industrial water pollution control has undergone vast changes. Public Law 92-500 passed in 1972 primarily targeted conventional pollutants such as Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and suspended solids and as a result wastewater treatment plants were designed to meet these objectives...read more

Product Description: In the past, industrial wastewater treatment primarily focused on the removal of BOD and suspended solids. In recent years, however, the focus has changed to aquatic toxicity, priority pollutants, and volatile organics. This required changes in how we design and operate biological treatment plants...read more

Product Description: The chemical and petrochemical industries give rise to some of the most serious waste management problems. Delegates from 15 countries came to the conference to exchange experience of the available technologies and management strategies for the identification, assessment and control of toxics in the chemical and petrochemical industries...read more
