TOC reduction in effluents
TOC reduction in effluents
(OP)
I just graduated and have just started work. The second day I got a project to reduce the flow rate and concentration (TOC) of the effluents of the plant (manufacturing lubricants and surfactants). I have no experience in environmental engineering and have to propose different possibilities or technologies to reduce the flows leaving the plant and TOC levels of the stream. Any suggestions about the possible things to do and how to start?





RE: TOC reduction in effluents
I'm not sure to understand exactly what "TOC" means as I'm French and haven't seen this before, but I guess it is something like Total Organic Chemicals?
For those kind of compounds, I know that biofilters / bioscrubbing / trickling biofilters can be efficient, but they don't decrease the flow rate significantly. But there are also non biological treatments
Could you be more accurate on the average level of TOC and flow rate (as those can determine which treatment is the best) ?
