Over the past decade, industrial water pollution control has undergone vast changes. In recent years volatile organics, priority pollutants, aquatic toxicity, and some heavy metals have received attention in specific industrial effluents. The technology choice to meet these objectives in a cost-effective manner will be site specific. As a general rule, biological treatment should be the first option with more costly physical chemical technologies employed only in cases where the toxicity-causing chemicals are non-biodegradable. A professional guide to industrial water pollution systems and regulation, this book helps the reader make site specific, cost-effective technology choices for treatment.
