Sanitary wastewater contents

Sanitary wastewater contents

Sanitary wastewater contents

(OP)
I am looking into the design of a small wastewater treatment facility and I am trying to figure out what is typically in wastewater (i.e. BOD, COD, TSS, TDS, Nitroden, Ammonia, tempurature, and probably a few other things). The wastewater will be generated by office staff and factory workers, not the process which the factory partakes in, so I believe that the wastewater will be somewhat similar to domestic wastewater but I am having trouble finding any information online.

If anyone knows where I could find this information please let me know. I looked aroudn this eng-tips and yahoo for a little while but have been unable to find what I am looking for.

Also, the project is in Ulster County, New York, in case that helps.

Thanks for everything guys

RE: Sanitary wastewater contents

Use the column marked "medium strength" from page 109 of Metcalf & Eddy, Wastewater Engineering, 3rd edition.

I don't have that book. Are there any online resources for this type of information?

RE: Sanitary wastewater contents

You can borrow it at the local public library.
