INTRODUCTION
On formation of the National Industrial Pollution Control Council, President
Nixon said "It would be unrealistic, of course, to think that private enter-
prise could meet this problem alone. The problem of the environment is one
area where private enterprise can do the job only if government plays its
proper role."
The general goal of Research and Development in industrial waste treatment,
both by industry and by industry cooperating with government, is to obtain,
for the benefit of improved water quality enforcement, proven methods of
control and treatment for all wastes from industry at reasonable costs. Many
of the wastes from industry can be handled by the present state-of-the-art
technology. However, this technology is limited in the number of proven
techniques available.
The ultimate goal of the FWQA, in cooperation with industry whenever possible,
is to develop and demonstrate alternative economical treatment techniques
and advanced waste treatment systems directed toward closed-loop systems.
Presently there are 158 completed or on-going projects sponsored under the
Industrial Pollution Control Branch Program. Approximately 300 "needs"
have been logged into the Research Program Planning System. These "needs"
will require a great deal of refinement and work effort to optimize and
assemble them into a priority list cognizant with the FWQA program objectives
and mission. Some of these needs may lack sufficient priority of importance
to merit funding by FWQA.
FWQA intends to develop and demonstrate the necessary treatment techniques
for significant industrial wastewaters to the extent necessary to meet
water quality criteria and eventually to permit total water reuse.
As indicated above, many if not most of the industrial sources of pollution
can be controlled with existing technology. It is the responsibility of
industry to undertake this effort with its own resources. In certain instances
new technology may provide methods for attaining higher water quality or lower
costs, or both, relative to existing techniques.
This new technological development involves risks normally not associated
with the profit .orientation of the particular industry. In a number of
concepts, even the obvious will not be undertaken unless incentives are
provided, both technical and economic. FWQA provides both by assisting
in evaluating applications and suggestions and at times provides additional
technical input to projects as well as cooperative grant dollars. It should
be recognized that a good many of our grants are well below the 70$ statutory
authorization for Federal participation. The industry grantee in turn is
obliged to provide proper evaluation resources and information to the public
as well as acquiescing to a variety of other public regulations which require
time and resources.

-------
In the Joint committee conference on this portion of the Act, it was stated
by Congressman Cramer . . . "that industries should be brought into the
research program and that these efforts should contribute toward control
of water pollution in as effective a way as possible . . .". The program
of the Industrial Pollution Control Branch is accomplishing this goal.
1-2
-------
INDUSTRIAL WATER REUSE
The program goal of industrial water reuse and product (or by-product)
reocvery is economically, technically and philosophically sound.
The waste products must be considered an integral part of any manu-
facturing process and the cost of treatment of industrial wastes must
be included in the pricing of the product. Waste disposal operations
normally result in a net cost to the industry producing the waste.
However by-product recovery and utilization techniques will reduce the
cost of treatment and frequently proves to be less expensive than other
methods of disposal.
Recycled water ultimately may be the most valuable product due to
supply shortages increasing water supply costs, increasing water treat-
ment costs and mounting municipal sewerage charges. The recovery of
product fines, useable water and thermal energy are key methods of re-
ducing overall waste treatment costs and must always be considered.
Recovery of by-product from solid wastes is now outside the scope of
the present program report. There are many products being recovered
but there are a great many more that are not currently being recovered
that could be recovered.
Frequently, waste streams can be eliminated or significantly reduced by
process modifications or improvements. One notable example of this is
the application of save-rinse and spray-rinse tanks in plating lines.
This measure brings about a substantial reduction in waste volume as
well as a net reduction in metal dragout.
One of industries' principal requirements of waste treatment, by-product
recovery, and water reuse is that the main product or products of the
plant be satisfactory to the consumer and that the operation of the
plants be efficient and economical.
Through cooperation with the FWQA program, industries in general are
becoming more aware of the need for overall pollution control and
product (or by-product) recovery. This is not only because pollution
effects the environment but also because it effects the general public
who are the costumers. In addition, industries too depend upon our
nations rivers and streams for suitable water for their manufacturing
processes.

INDUSTRIAL POLLUTION CONTROL TECHNOLOGY
INTRODUCTION
Industries use hug.e quantities of the Nation's waters and are the1 major
factor in the continuing rise in water pollution. They utilize over
15 trillion gallons of water but, prior to discharge, treat less than
5 trillion gallons. In terms of a single pollution parameter (BOD),
waste generated by industries are equivalent to a total population of
over 360 million people. Even more undesirable than the BOD loads
of industrial effluents are the enormous quantities of mineral and chem-
ical wastes from factories which steadily become more complex and varied.
They include metals such as iron, chromium, nickle, and copper; salts
such as compounds of sodium, calcium, and magnesium; acids such as
sulfuric and hydrochloric; petroleum wastes and brines; phenols, cyanides;
ammonia; toluene; blast furnace wastes; greases; all varieties of sus-
pended and dissolved solids; and numerous other waste compounds. These
wastes degrade the quality of receiving waters by causing tastes, odors,
and color; and excess mineralization, salinity, hardness, and corrosion.
Some are toxic to plant and animal life.
The variety and complexity of inorganic and organic components contained
in industrial effluents present a serious liquid wastewater treatment
control problem in that the pollution and toxicity effects of these
constituents are of greater significance than those found in domestic
wastewaters.
Conventional wastewater treatment technology which is often adequate for
existing waste types, offers even less promise of providing the type and
degree of treatment to be required in the near future. Industrial
pollution control technology, therefore, must be developed and demonstrated
to achieve effective and economical control of pollution from such indus-
tries as those producing metal and metal products, chemical and allied
products, paper and allied products, petroleum and coal products, food
and kindred products, textiles and leather goods.
To continue the attack on the problem of industrial pollution will require
a cooperative industry-government effort to conceive, research, develop,
and demonstrate treatment processes, production modifications, water
reuse and water conservation programs. The ongoing research and demonstra-
tions, funded by Section 6 grants, have been made to manufacturers and
processors representing about every major source of industrial pollution.
The continued and expanded support is urgently needed specifically to
implement the demonstration R&D programs related to new or improved
technology for the treatment, reuse, and/or disposal of industrial waste-
waters and their sludge residues. Existing data suggests that about
half of the total volumes of wastes processed by municipalities is of
1-4
-------
industrial origin. Emphasis must be continued to achieve the most effective
water pollution control^by means of joint municipal-industrial treatment.
Another key area where the efforts must be expanded involves the demonstra-
tion of by-product recovery and utilization.
In this respect, the most promising and beneficial area requiring additional
support is the implementation of closed-loop (water reuse) treatment
systems for the industry.
An accelerated industrial pollution control research, development, and
demonstration program will measurably decrease the amount of expenditures
needed to accomplish these goals, increase the efficiency of treatment,
and eliminate the gaps in treatment technology.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the industrial pollution control R&D program is to develop
and demonstrate the required technology to achieve required degrees of
pollution control by least cost methods for all significant industrial
sources of pollution.
PROGRAM OF WORK
The program includes all research, development, and demonstration efforts
necessary to resolve industrial pollution problems.
The objectives will be met by using the research and development grant
mechanism, supplemented by in-house laboratory programs. The IPCB^will
implement and administer demonstration projects for new end novel indus-
trial wastewater treatment projects applicable for the majority of all
significant industries. These demonstrations will include the latest
developments in physical, chemical, biological, and combinations of
treatment methods. It is expected to develop further the cooperation of
industry to participate in meaningful pollution abatement demonstrations
and to increasingly demonstrate the feasibility of in-plant measures,
by-product recovery, and wastewater reuse as methods to abate pollution
and to reduce treatment costs.
Research through in-house efforts and by contracts to industries and uni-
versities are to complete state of the art studies related to treatment
and control technology for selected industry groups. Similarly, industrial
wastewaters are to be identified, characterized, quantitized and classified
for a]1 industries of pollutional'significance.
*The Industrial Pollution Control Branch
1-5
-------
Industrial wastes are the Nations principal point sources of controllable
waterborn wastes. In terms of the generally quoted measurements of strength
and volume, gross wastes of manufacturing establishments are about three times
as great as those of the Nation's sewered population (reference Table I).
Moreover, the volume of industrial production, which gives rise to industrial
wastes, is increasing at about 4»5$ a year or three times faster than the
population. Also significant is the variance of composition of industrial
wastes, which contain all known pollutants of concern in water pollution
abatement as well as some unidentified factors.
Table I shows reported quantities of industrial wastewaters discharged in 1963
and FWPCA estimates of the quantities of standard biochemical oxygen demand
(BODr) and settleable and suspended solids contained in the wastewaters. The
wasteload estimates, based upon an estimate of the "average" quantity of
pollutant per product unit, indicate that the chemical, paper, and food and
kindred industrial groups generated about 90$ of the BOD r in industrial
wastewater before trea.tro.ent.
Similar statistics on net wasteload discharges are not completely available.
However, indications are that the extent of industrial wastewater treatment is
not greater than that currently practiced for municipal wastewaters.
Industrial wastes differ markedly in chemical composition, physical charact-
eristics, strength, and toxieity from wastes found in normal domestic
sewage. Every conceivable toxicant and pollutant of organic and inorganic
nature can be found in industrial wastewaters, as indicated in Table II
for selected industries. Thus, the BODr or solids content often are not
adequate indicators of the quality of industrial effluents. For example,
industrial wastes frequently contain persistent organics which resist the
secondary treatment procedures applied normally to domestic sewage. In
addition, some industrial effluents require that specific organic compounds
be stabilized or that trace elements be removed as part of the treatment
process.
It is therefore necessary to characterize each industrial wastewater to
permit comparative pollutional assessments to be made for individual
industries as well as industry groups. Characterization will permit
classifying the components of industrial wastewaters into as few as four
basic classes of pollutants to more readily collate pollution statistics
and to evaluate economics of methods of treatment as well as to project
lease cost methods. Proposed, generalized basic classification parameters
are BOD, COD, SS, and TDS into which all known pollutants can be classed.
Also required is the establishment of a relative pollution comparative
index for all significant pollutants. This index in combination with the
known characteristics and volume of a wastewater will determine the rela-
tive gross pollution severity of all industrial wastes and establish
(1)
Note the 1200 program described herein does not include thermal pollution
requirement and associated problems.
1-6
-------
a basis for comparing the severity of pollution from industries.
Table III presents permissible criteria for surface water for public
supplies as obtained from the Report of the Committee on Water Quality
Criteria, April 1, 1968. The addition of an assumed BOD^ value of
5mg/lto these criteria permits comparisons of the listed pollutants to
be made against a unit cf BOD. tinder these circumstances it is relative-
ly apparent that pollutants such as Endrin and Phenol (on amg/1 concentration
equivalent basis) are 5000 times more critical as pollutants than BOD,
Further work in this area vri.ll permit establishment of more accurate
priorities in terns of our nations most critical needs.
Industrial wastes will require the development, demonstration, and
evaluation of treatment methods suitable for each significant industrial
waste type which is significantly different from domestic waste.
Table IV is a listing of all major industry groups-and industries of
suspected significant contributions to water pollution. These have been
selected on the basis of a process water intake of at least 1 billion
gallons per year and with regards to the potential for pollution from
the process use of the water. For program planning and budgeting purposes,
the industries are grouped into thirteen subprogram elements as shewn in
column two of Table VI. Within each element, the identity of industry
group(s) by their Standard Industrial Classification code number is also
presented as in column two of Table IV.
The industries listed in Table IV number approximately 150 and represent
potentially equally numerous wastewaters of significantly different char-
acteristics, for which treatment technology must either be developed or
upgraded. The interchangeability of treatment technology between similar
types of wastewaters is anticipated but will have to be demonstrated
through results of grant research projects, cr in house studies. Because
resource allocations nay not be sufficient to encompass the potential R&D
demand imposed by the diverse nature of industrial wastes, a priority
system must be established and used in the allocation of R&D efforts for
industrial wastewater problems.
At this time a firm priority for R&D activities based on an ultimate com-
parable basis of pollution severity, has not been established for industrial
wastes. However, a cursory examination of Table I, and assuming the (BODr)
parameters of pollution severity as the price indicator of pollution,
initial basis for ranking the industry groups for priority R&D efforts, is
possible. However, knowledge of si1 chemical and physical parameters of
pollution, as well as the state of the art and economic considerations
are necessary to more adequately assess priority for R&D investments.
Tafele V lists National Priorities for pollution sources. These were establish-
ed on the basis of best available information! in order to establish the
initial base.
1-7
-------
In spite of the complexity and magnitude of industrial pollution, initial
estimates of the costs of clean waters from industrial sources have been
made. As summarized in Table VII industrial capital requirements to
abate pollution by 1973 to the extent of providing &5% treatment effective-
ness, are substantially less than estimated capital requirements for
municipal treatment or collection facilities for separting combined sewers,
while the gross pollutional load contributed is substantially greater than
either. This indicates that the average cost of industrial waste treatment
is substantially less than for municipal waste treatment when based on
treatment cost per Ib BOD. If these estimates are reasonably accurate it
would appear that for the most part industrial pollution control to the
equivalency of secondary treatment is within a reasonable cost and need
only be developed and demonstrated for the various industries in our
economy which are significant contributors of pollution.
In summary the needs show that the 1200 program must be primarily dedicated
to the attainment of:
1. Qualifying and quantitizing industrial wastes and treatment practices.
2. Implementation of undemonstrated but feasible treatment methods to
as many types of industries as possible.
3. Reduce cost of treatment by the beneficial recovery and reuse of waste-
water contaminants.

-------
The alternatives shown primarily consist of:
a. Waste-water_Treatment (as required to abate pollution to meet
water quality standards)
(1) for discharge (to meet necessary water quality criteria)
(2) for reuse (to meet industrial water quality demands to
conserve water and offset cost of treatment).
b. In-plant Measures (to reduce pollutants and water discharge)
(1) Operational (housekeeping techniques and manufacturing
procedures)
(2) Design (to permit reuse, to reduce wastewater generation)
c. Residue Treatment
(1) By-product recovery (to reduce gross disposal, utilizes
values)
(2) Residue stabilization (to meet environmental standards)
d. Combined Methods
(1) Joint Treatment (to utilize scale factors, off peak capacity,
Synergistic effects)
(2) Others (combined a-b-c methods as appropriate)
The alternatives best suited for implementation in specific 1200 programs
will depend on many factors and local conditions. Where the state-of-art
of treatment is essentially non-existing, emphasis on treatment to meet
environmental standards should prevail. For nonprogressive industries,
in-plant measures should be explored for potential application. For
industries which have demonstrated effective treatment methods, lower cost
alternatives of treatment stressing reuse and by-product recovery should
be given consideration.
GOALS

-------
It should be apparent that extensive cooperation and communication among
all participants and activities will be required.
The program is orientated to upgrade the state-of-art for industrial
waste treatment to the extent that industries vdll thereafter continue
to maintain the art in a progressive manner with minimum Federal R&D
assistance. Therefore, it is imperative that the cooperation of industry
be attained in the earliest phases of this program.
A
There are three major milestones to be demonstrated for each major industry
category. Attainment of these milestones will provide an upgraded state-
of-art for industrial wastewater treatment which will allow substantial
decreased Federal R&D efforts to subside in favor of industry's own continued
maintainence program.
The major milestones are:
1. .Demonstration of the equivalence of secondary treatment for all industries
of significance within each industrial category. The equivalence of secondary
treatment is the removal, of about 85$ of the primary pollutants from indus-
trial wastewaters. (Pollutants: that can be removed by primary methods).
2. Development and demonstration of the necessary treatment requirements
for industrial wastewaters of significance to the extent required to meet
state and local water quality criteria. In a majority of cases this require-
ment can be attained by the removal of up to 98$ of primary pollutants, or
the removal to a high degree (85$) of secondary but significant contaminants
from industrial wastewaters. (Pollutants that can be removed by secondary methods).
3. Develop and demonstrate the means to control all major pollutants from
all industries.
SUMMARY
The research, development and demonstration program is directed toward
developing the operational industrial waste treatment technology (1) that
cannot be expected to be developed by industry and which is necessary to
enable compliance with water quality standards, and (2) that is necessary
to treat joint municipal -industrial wastes effectively. The largest part
of this research will deal with the "innovative" treatment processes
which are needed to supplement or substitute for conventional treatment
processes. Research effort also will be directed toward developing the
Mnear-100$" and "closed loop" waste treatment systems which are increasingly
needed in areas of industrial congestion which, even with high levels of
treatment, discharge enormous waste loads into limited reaches of water.

TABLE X
PROPOSAL EVALUATION CRITERIA
1. Extent of industry-wide applicability of results.
2. The extent the proposed work can be considered as a new or
improved method of pollution control.
3. The amount of risk involved, i.e. the probability of success.
4. The long range benefits to be derived by the grantee.
a. Research - minimum grantee benefits - maximum % support
by FWQA.
b. Development - partial grantee benefits - partial % support
by FWQA.
c. Demonstration - maximum grantee benefits - minimum % support
by FWQA.
5. The extent to which the project will provide solutions to the
national pollution problem.
6. The capability of the grantee for prompting broad application
of results of a successful project, (e.g. Nation.Assoc. Sponsorship)
7. Thoroughness of work plan, qualifications of project director
and support personnel, facilities available, testing and analysis.
8. The extent of outside interest expressed - particularly in dollar
support.
9. Reasonableness of the costs proposed.
10. For proposals qualifying for FWQA support, based on the above, the
distribution of FWQA participation is allocated in a manner to
provide appropriate administrative and fiscal control of the
project during its course. This is accomplished by allowing
greater FWQA contributions toward the technical requirements
(i.e. engr. services), lesser percentage contributions toward
operational requirements (i.e. O&M costs), and minimum percentage
contribution toward capital items (i.e. equipment and construction).

METALS AND METAL PRODUCTS
E. L. Dulaney, P.E.
Threebroad categories of industrial activities are included in this
subprogram element of the FWQA Research and Development Program. These
are the ferrous metals industries, the nonferrous metals industries,
and metal finishing operations.
The steel industry uses approximately 16 billion gallons of water per
day or 19$ of total industrial water usage. Most of the water is used
for non-contact cooling purposes. Approximately 2.5 billion gallons
per day is used in processing operations such as coke oven gas scrub-
bing, blast furnace gas washing, basic oxygen gas scrubbing, hot rol-
ling, pickling and rinsing, cold rolling, and dipping and other finish-
ing operations. These operations contaminate the water with large
amounts of particulate matter, oil, acid, soluable salts, ammonia,
cyanide, phenols and other organic and mineral compounds. Most of the
waste streams are better suited for chemical and/or physical treatment
methods rather than biological methods. In addition to the usual R&D
program objectives of improved treatment process efficiency at reduced
costs and increased water reuse, an additional objective in the ferrous
metals industry is the determination of the cost of waste treatment not
only for each major procesing operation, but the treatment costs in
total to achieve a unit of product.
The nonferrous metals industries include aluminum, copper, zinc, lead,
nickle, and many others. These industries use approximately 1.3
billion gallons of water per day. Like the steel industry the wastes
are high in particulate and mineral compounds and are best treated by
chemical and/or physical means.
There are approximately 20,000 captive and independent metal finish-
ing operations within the United States. The prinicpal operations in-
clude stripping, electroplating, anodizing, and etching (e.g. printed
circuits). While waste volumes are not normally large compared to
the steel, paper, food processing, or petroleum industries, their fre-
quently corrosive and highly toxic nature make these wastes particularly
hazardous. Waste treatment, usually by chemical processes, is neces-
sary to protect sewer lines from corrosion, sewer maintenance crews
from toxic gases and minerals, receiving municipal biological treat-
ment plants from deactivation by slugs or accumulations of toxic
materials, and for protection of all species coming into contact with
the receiving waters.

The objective of this project is to develop a technique for the depression
of pyrites in the froth flotation of sulfide ores by the addition of organic
salts in place of commonly used cyanides. The oxidation potential of pure
systems will be varied to determine explicitly the conditions which must be
imposed. to depress pyrites. Batch flotation tests on two natural sulfide
ores containing pyrite will then be conducted to determine the feasibility of
pyrite depression in a natural system under conditions prescribed for the pure
system.

The project provides for construction, operation, tests, and reports
on facilities to treat 15OO gpm of acid rinse waters produced by the
hydrochloric acid pickling of strip-steel preparatory to cold-rolling,
The treatment process will consist of limestone neutralization,
aeration, coagulation, sedimentation, sludge recirculation, vacuum
filtration of the excess sludge, and effluent equalization.
All or nearly all of the acid and the compounds of iron will be
removed by the treatment process. The chloride content of the waste
is not changed by this process and may be such that dilution with
other available wastes will be required in order to meet the stateTs
proposed standards regarding total dissolved solids.

PESCRIPTIOM OF PROJECT; This is an industrial waste treatment project
for the installation and demonstration of a chemical pre-rinse
system for the removal of toxic materials from the wastes from a
small electroplating plant. The treated effluent is expected to
have a pH of 6.5 to 8.5 and will contain less than: 0.1 ppm of
chromium, copper, nickel, or zinc; 100 ppm of chlorides or nitrates;
200 ppm of sulfates; 5 ppm of BODj and will be color and odor free.
Approximately two-thirds of the treated effluent will be reused for
plating rinse water.
Precipitates of toxic metal ions will be produced by the chemical
treatment of the segregated waste streams from the various plating
lines. Sludges containing these precipitates will be routed to
sludge drying beds. Dried sludges will be disposed of by landfill.
There are over three thousand similar sources of stream pollution
in the New England area alone and over twelve thousand plating
plants across the nation. This project will provide technical and
economic data on an effective waste treatment method. It is antici-
pated that this information will be of value to many firms, who be-
cause of insufficient funds, could not themselves undertake the
engineering and development costs required.

PESCRIPTION OF PROJECT; The full scale demonstration project will provide
additional facilities for the treatment and reuse of 7-2 mgd of blast fur-
nace gas vasher water from the venturies and coolers on two blast furnaces.
The water before treatment contains 700 ppm of suspended solids, 1630 ppm
of total solids, 3ppm cyanides, and 100 ppb of phenols. An anipoic poly-
electrolyte will be used to improve recovery of magnetite (Fe3°^) and re-
moval of cyanides in the primary clarifier. In addition, polyphoephates
and chlorine will be used as required to prevent a hydrogen cyanide hazard
in the vacinity of the cooling tower. A new cooling tower will reduce the
water temperature and further reduce cyanides thus permitting reuse of most
of the water. The cooling tower blowdown will be used to cool slag. The
blowdown stream will be evaporated and leave its dissolved solids on the
slag pile. The blowdown rate will be determined by the allowable alkalinity
of the reclrculated water. The water is passed through cooling coils in
the walls of the blast furnaces before routing through the venturies. This
is expected to limit the alkalinity to 500 ppm.
The project period of 18 months is based on anticipated completion of con-
struction in July 1969 and Final Report by August 1, 1970.

PESCR7PTIO,'/ OF P:?OJECT; The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency proposes
to engage the North Star Research and Development Institute (3100 Thirty
Eighth Ave., So., Minneapolis, Minnesota, 55A06) to conduct Phase I of an
anticipated three phase - three year project. The objectives of the pro-
j-ect are to develop reverse osmosis (R0)~ for the treatment of metal finish-
ing effluents (MFE) for the purposes of (a) eliminating pollutants from
effluents, (b) recovery of valuable plating materials, and (c) recovery of
waste waters for reuse.
Phase I will provide for screening of candidate membranes for effectiveness
and compatibility in single ion applications, compatibility of support ^
materials, investigation of promising membranes-for improvement by modifi-
cation, and investigation of operating parameters, e.g. temperature, pressure,
thickness, strength, and permeability.
Phase II would extend the studies to mixed ion MFE's, life studies, and
production aspects and costs of membranes.
Phase III would consist of scale-up studies on simulated MFE's and sub-
sequently to actual MFE's with generation of data for commercialization.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT;
Th$ Armco Steel Corporation, under the sponsorship of the AISI and with the
assistance of the AISI Fellowship at Mellon Institute will design, construct,
operate, optimize, and evaluate a 1 gpm pilot facility for the three stage
biological treatment of raw ammoniacal liquors from the by-product coke plant
of Armco Steel located at Houston, Texas. A typical analysis of this waste
would indicate 1240 ppm of phenol, 60 ppm cyanide, and 6400 ppm ammonia.
The three stage biological treatment system is designed to accomplish (a)
oxidation of carbonaceous material (aerobic), (b) nitrification of nitrogenons
compounds (aerobic) and (c) nitrate reduction to nitrogen gas (anaerobic).
Laboratory testing indicates that removal of 75% of organic carbon, 99% of
phenol and cyanide and essentially all of the ammonia can be expected. The
pilot facility will provide the basis for the design of a full scale facility.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
This grant supports Phase I of grantee's anticipated three phase project to
provide an overall waste treatment system to treat effluents from an integrated
steel mill and the domestic wastes from' the City of Weirton, West Va. The
mill produces the full spectrum of steel industry wastes. Waste water volumes
currently are 226 mgd and 1.2 mgd from the mill and the city respectively.
The general approach will be to reduce volumes by providing treatment to
maximize reuse, to provide pretreatment as required for subsequent combined
treatment, to'provide combined treatment of sanitary and specific mill wastes
where a synergestic effect can be anticipated, in an expanded municipal facility,
and to provide complete treatment of the remaining wastes.
Phase I consists of three tasks which include wastewater characterizationxand
analysis of existing facilities, accessment of alternative treatment processes,
and determination of the feasibility of a joint municipal-industrial waste
treatment demonstration facility. Phase I will require twelve months to complete.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: A development, demonstration, and evaluation
project for the bio-chemical treatment of wastewaters from a typical
poly vinyl chloride manufacturing plant,, at a 0.85 mgd scale of operation.
The treatment system is to produce effluent to meet the receiving water
standards (Delaware River) of greater than 85$ removal of BOD, turbidity
of not greater than 30 units above river water, and be free from taste
and odor producing substances.
The process will consist of chemical pre-treatment with primary sedi-
mentation, followed by activated sludge secondary treatment and a final
polishing pond. Tertiary treatment studies with activated carbon are
also contemplated to determine the extent to which the secondary effluent
will lend itself to tertiary treatment, as future Delaware River standards
may require the equivalent of tertiary treatment.

SSSCHIPTIOI-: 0? PROJECT;
The objective of this project is to identify chemicals in the wastevvater
from a large petrochemical plant that are inhibitory to anaerobic treatnsnt
and to study applicable means to eliminate such inhibition. As an initial
step, inhibitory chemicals will be identified by performing batch degradability
studies, in conjunction with analysis by the latest methods available at
Union Carbide's Technical Center in South Charleston, W. Va. Materials of
particular interest will be sulfates, ^HJ unsaturated carbonyl compounds,
and ammonia. A second study will involve the use of a photosynthetic
bacterial-algal culture to overcome sulfide problems (i.e. microbial inhibition
and oxygen demand). Digestion studies in which a degradable substrate is
spiked with various levels of inhibitory materials will bemade to indicate
allowable levels. A final demonstration run in pilot facilties using typical
wastewaters is planned to verify the findings of the laboratory study.

PAPER AND ALLIED PRODUCTS
George R. Webster, P.E.
Program Manager
Activities under this subprogram element encompass those industries
engaged in the production of pulp, paper, paperboard, and related
paper products. Dun and Bradstreet lists 6,683 production establish-
ments under "Standard Industrial Classification" (SIC) number 26
titled "Paper and Allied Products" while Lockwood's Directory
indicates there are 542 independent paper mills, 278 paper mills with
one or more associated pulp mills, and 32 independent pulp mills.
It is toward these 852 production establishments that the effort of
FWQA's research and development program is directed. This R&D program
is Headquartered in Washington, D. C., but the program support is
centered at the Pacific Northwest Water Laboratory in Corvallis,
Oregon under the direction of Ralph H. Scott.
It has been estimated that the total waste load originating from this
industry represents 27 percent of the total pollutional load attri-
buted to manufacturing. These wastes are characterized by extreme
variations in pH and biochemical oxygen demand, BOD, (depending on
the pulp production process), high total organic carbon, TOC, and
color levels; variations in the organic (fiber), inorganic (fillers),
and color (dyes) concentrations depending upon the paper production
process.
The R&D program objective is to assist industry in the development
of technical, design, operational and economic data on the wastes and
new or improved treatment systems for the abatement of pollution from
the production processes. Projects for pretreatment, final treatment,
joint municipal treatment, in-plant water reuse, and recovery of
waste by-products, with the ultimate goal of obtaining a closed loop
water system, are being and will be investigated.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT;
Research will be .conducted on predicting the effects of Kraft mill waste disposal
in the ocean on the marine environment. A remote sensing system and aerial
photography will be utilized to estimate waste concentrations, water currents,
diffusion coefficients, and vertical concentration profiles in an ocean outfall
plume. Aerial photography will be taken with a multispectral camera system of
the waste field. Boat sampling will be conducted at the same time to provide
"ground truth" data. Data will be compiled and analyzed by a system of
computer analysis which was developed for this purpose in 1968-69.
The investigation will include several Kraft mill outfalls along the Oregon
coast. Results of bioassays and chemical analyses will be related to photo-
graphic imagery. Zones of water quality influence about existing outfalls and
proposed outfalls will be estimated, and diffusion coefficients-will be
estimated.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT;
Studies are being,undertaken to isolate and characterize low molecular weight
lignin sulfonates which are formed from the lignin in wood by action of sulfite
pulping process. Improved separation methods by gel chromatography recently
developed in this laboratory will be applied to obtain fractions of rather narrow
molecular ranges, especially in the low molecular weight range.
Information gained should be of-assistance in developing economic uses for the
waste liquors from sulfite pulp mills which are giving rise to the hazard of
pollution of water sources.
Future studies will be devoted to the following subjects:
1. Separation by get chromatography (Sephadex);
2. Chemical modification of the low molecular weight lignin sulfonate fractions
such as acetylation and esterification and separation by chromatographical
means;
3. Structural studies with special emphasis upon NMR and mass spectroscopy;
k. Molecular weight determinations by Vapor-Pressure osmometric means.

This is a continuation of a project initiated in 1969* The objective
of this research is to evaluate the slime growth promoting potential
of treated pulp mill wastes. Wastes treated by various means will be
tested for their ability to support slime growth using various pro-
cedures. Additional studies will be carried out in an effort to
define specific carbon and nitrogen sources in treated wastes which
support the growth of Sphaerotilus. The effects of environmental
factors on growth of Sphaerotilus also will be examined. This study
will contribute to the development of abatement procedures for
controlling slime growth as well as assist in establishing suitable
water quality criteria for streams receiving pulp mill wastes. The
study also will add to the knowledge on Sphaerotilus.

The project will determine the ability of reverse osmosis technology
to both produce a product water suitable for re-use in mill processes,
and a concentrate available for, by-product recovery or for treatment
prior to discharge. Wastes to be handled, at separate mills, will include
weak sulfite washings, weak Kraft washings, bleach wastes, condensates
and serai-chemical wastes. The semi-trailer housed reverse osmosis
equipment will be transported to separate mills for the experimental
work. Presently projected mill sites are located in Wisconsin and
Minnesota. Others are to be selected.

OF PROJECT:
The project is directed toward an examination of the possible separation,
in the foam phase, of a significant portion of the dissolved organics
contained in primary treated Kraft Mill waste. Hopefully it may be
discovered that a high percent of the pollutional load may be separated
in a relatively small volume by these means. This may then provide a
larger volume of 'bottoms' suitable for discharge and a smaller volume
of 'tops', or collapsed foam, directed to complete treatment.

PESCRIPTION OF PROJECT:
Kraft pulping wastes which are discharged into streams may darken
the color of the water, contribute to the biochemical oxygen demand
and increase the solids content cf the.stream. New federal and state
water standards will require removal of such materials from mill
effluents. Lime precipitation in small scale operations, has been
shown to remove certain of the solid constituents and demonstration
grants on lime treatments have been approved at three kraft mill sites,
The objective of the proposed project is to determine the chemical
and physical nature of the color bodies in the effluents from these
three kraft mills both before and after lime treatment. The investi-
gation should lead to a better understanding of the results of the
lime treatments, and may suggest means for more complete removal of
color.

Runs will be made using Decanter underflow; Blow condensate; Evaporator
condensate and Black liquor. The stripping bottoms water will be tested
and then sewered. The overhead which forms two immiscible liquids when
condensed, will be decanted, forming a crude turpentine product and a
water soluble organic layer. Thi-s will be further rectified and
processed to evaluate the worth of the products therein. The main
objective is to determine on a large pilot plant scale (50 gal/min.
stritroing unit) the efficiency and effectiveness of a steam stripping-
rectification unit in reducing the volatile organic chemicals in the
Kraft process condensate'streams. this reduction is directly propor-
tional to the biochemical oxygen demand reduction that can be achieved
by this orocess. The mas? transfer data provided by this stripping
and rectification equipment, along with the economics of any by-
products derived is neces?ary for further decisions regarding full

The objectives of this grant are to investigate the applicability of
microscreening of paper mill wastes from two paper mills manufacturing
business, technical and other papers made from either rag or chemical
wood pulps to determine the removal of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD),
suspended solids, color and turbidity. Tests will be run utilizing a
coagulant or coagulant aid, such as a polyelectrolyte, for the further
removal of turbidity from the mocroscreener effluent. Evaluations to
determine the possibility of reclaiming fibers from the microscreener
sludge will be done. Appropriate treatment processes, such as centrifugation
or sedimentation may enable the mills to economically recover lost fibers.
Data will be obtained to determine design factors and estimates of the
cost of construction and operation of such a facility. The cost of
operation will be correlated with the retail market value of the product.
Also the study will conduct tests on a ultra-filter supplied free of charge
by the FWPCA.

The petroleum refining industry is by far the larger water user in
this subprogram element. The industry uses 17 billion gallons of
water per day or 20$ of total industrial water usage„ Approximately
0.23 billion gallons per day is used in processing operations. Many
distinct operations such as crude oil distillation, reforming,
catalylic cracking, thermal cracking, polymerization, alkalation,
gasoline and middle distillate treating, motor oil manufacturing, etc.
are utilized. Foul condensate is usually pretreated at the source
but by and large the refiners depend on central waste treatment
facilities for pollution control. Oil separation and recovery
followed by biological conversion of phenols, sulfides, etc. are
the treatment techniques most frequently employed. Greater emphasis
on more effective treatment, waste treatment at the source, product
recovery, water reuse, and development of treatment methods requir-
ing less land areas is needed.
Over 500 million tons per year of coal is obtained by strip and
deep mining operations in the U.S. Approximately one-half of this
output is consumed by the Utility and Steel Industries. Over 80$
of the coal is cleaned and classified by using water as the cleaning
medium prior to marketing. Among the most troublesome wastes from
coal processing and use are coal fines, sulfur, phenols, ammonia, and
thermally polluted waters. For FWOJV R&D Program administration
purposes mine drainage problems are assigned to subprogram PPB 1401
Mine Drainage, thermal pollution problems are assigned to PPB 1603
Thermal Pollution, and wastes from coal coking operations are assigned
to PPB 1201 Metal and Metal Products since the majority of coal
coking is accomplished as an integral part of steel mill operations.

DESCRIPTION of PROJECT • This project will produce a design for a
complete 50 gpm coalescer unit utilizing the mathematical model developed
during the first year. This design will be used to construct and test
a 150 ml/min demonstration unit which will be operated on an actual
industrial waste stream. The program will consist of the preparation
of general plans, specifications,, explanations, costs estimates, and a
discussion of the anticipated performance in recovering finely-divided,
insoluble liquid pollutants from the selected industrial source. The
design must not only be effective and economical but also capable of
adaption to the many different types of pollutants and conditions that
may arise. The waste source for the bread-board demonstration unit will
be a steel plant hot mill effluent before (100 ppm oil in water) and
after (10 ppm oil in water) treatment at the plant.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT; This project will be directed at clarifying the fundamentEil
mechanisms underlying bed coalescense and the formulation of general design criteria
through a mathematical description of pressure drop and coalescense performance.
The formulation will be guided by the experimental determination of the extent of
phase separation and pressure drop under controlled variation of inlet drop size,
suspension chemistry, median grain size, bed depth, flow rate, and grain surface
treatment. The results of this work should be of use in the design of separation
processes for treating aqueous oil dispersions.

Harold G. Keeler
Program Manager
Activities under this subprogram element encompass those industries
dealing with the processing of products for human or animal
consumption. Major categories included hereunder are: (1) Meat
products, (2) Dairies, (3) Canned and frozen foods, (4) Grain mills,
(5) Bakery products, (6) Sugar, (7) Beverages, (8) Candy and related
products and (9) Miscellaneous products (coffee, edible oils, etc.)*
Further breakdown is as depicted in the Standard Industrial
Classification Manual.
Wastes generated by this industry, which is comprised of some 32,000
individual companies, represent 20 percent of the total pollutional
load attributed to manufacturing. The mainly organic wastes exhibit
extreme variations in BOD, suspended and dissolved solids, pH, etc.,
as well as in volume and duration of processing operations.
The program's objective is to assist the industry in the development
of design, operational and economic data relating to new or improved
systems for pollution abatement. In plant water conservation, pre-
treatment, chemical, physical and biological waste treatment, by-
product recovery, and reuse of the final effluent to permit closed
loop systems, will be investigated.

PESCRIPTIOW OF PROJECT: This project is designed to demonstrate the effec-
tiveness of an aerobic secondary treatment plant for treating the total
flow of potato processing wastes (1 MGD and 14,580 Ib. BOD). The aerobic
treatment will follow an existing primary treatment plant.
The secondary treatment plant will consist of three earthen aeration
basins equipped with mechancial surface aerators, a mechancially cleaned
secondary clarifier, an aerobic digester, and sludge disposal beds. In
addition, a silt removal system will be constructed, consisting of
screening facilities, a pumping station, and two earthen ponds to re-
tain silt accumulations for one processing season,
The aeration system will be tested under three operating schemes:
1.) as an extended aeration system in which biological sludge is returned
to the aeration basin and the excess, to the digester; 2.) as a flow-
through aeration basin with sludge carryover into the effluent; and 3.)
as an intermittent aeration system in which the clarified upper portion
of the aeration basin contents is discharged directly to the river.
During these operations, studies will be made on the effects of foaming
ice, temperature, pH, and nutrients on the efficiency of the process.
STATUS ; Contracts for long lead items such as the aeration equipment
and clarifiers to be awarded within thirty days. Final design and
specifications for construction of the treatment facility to be com-
pleted on or about May 1, 1968.

PESCRIPTIM Of PROJECT: The Kehr Process, in essence, involves a combin-
ing of activated sludge aeration of 10,000 to 15,000 mg/1 mixed liquor
solids with aerobic digestion in a single aeration tank. This provides
high removals of BOD, solids, and nutrients; facility for periodic high
strength wastes; a stabilized, drainable water sludge; and comparatively
low physical plant costs.
The objectives are to:
1. Demonstrate the revised Kehr Process using liquid-solids separation by
high-rate flotation-densification system of activated sludge solids.
2. Demonstrate effectiveness of the process for treating cannery wastes
combined with domestic sewage having a BOD^ of 1000 to 2000 mg/1.
3. Demonstrate performance of the process with densified return sludge
solids of ^.% to 8% on a dry weight basis, thus affecting plant economy by
use of smaller tankage volume.
A. Determine processing requirements for application to a full-scale
treatment plant.

PESCRIPTIOM OF PROJECT: Four oxidation channels will be constructed to han-
dle an equivalent load of 20,000 Ibs. of BOD/day from a packinghouse on
a 7-day basis with estimated flow of 3.5 mgd. The objective is to find an
efficient, effective, and economical method of treating raw packinghouse
wastes so they can be discharged directly into streams.
Each channel will be 460 ft. X 60 ft . with a capacity of 150,000 cu.
ft. Channels 1&2 will receive raw wastewater from existing primary treat-
ment systems. The overflow will be directed into Channels 3&4 which will
be operated intermittently as aerator and settling basins. Channel 4 will
allow the sludge to be returned to Channels 1&2 or removed for harvesting,
The solids removed will be centrifuged or evaporated and dried.
The most feasible way of handling solids will be determined. Tests will
be conducted to determine if the dried solids can be used an an animal-
food supplement .
The process will be designed to give variable rates of aeration and
flow to obtain maximum bio-chemical oxygen demand and nitrogen removal.
The flow will be sampled and analyzed for total nitrogen, chemical oxygen
demand, suspended solids, total solids, and grease; weekly samples will
be tested for total volatile solids, total fixed solids, phosphate, total
bacterial content, and coliform count.
STATUS ; Final design and specifications for the treatment facility have
been completed. Expect to advertise for bids no latter than April 15,1968
and begin construction during May 1968.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT rrhe cannery now discharges it fruit-processing
wastes into the Yakima River. The objective of this project is to de-
termine the most economical method of removing 90% of the BOD from an
expected flow of 2.6 MGD with a BODs loading of 20,OOO Ibs.
Aeration methods, including modifications to the activated sludge
process, will be tested on a plant-size scale "to determine their effec-
tiveness in treating frviit processing wastes.
Existing and specially designed new facilities, including lagoons
and clarifiers, will be used in prototype studies of the effects of
varying amounts of aeration, waste loading waste detention, sludge re-
turns, and chemical on the BOD level.
During the 1967 canning season, the lagoon and clarifier will be
operated as a completely mixed activated-sludge facility. The new la-
goon, with added aerators will operated as an aeration lagoon with no
sludge return, each under varied loadings. During the 1968 canning season
the facilities will be operated as a modified contact stabilization
facility.
Information on the modifications will be compared and the results will
be applied to the activated sludge process for use by industry and govern-
ment as method for the biological treatment of fruit processing wastes.
STATUS ; Aeration basin completed and operational. Contracts being awarded
for balance of construction. Facility to be completely operational by
September 1968.

PESCRIPTION OF PROJECT; The objectives of • this proposal are as follows:
(1) to determine the feasibility of employing a high rate trickling fil-
ter in the San Jose, California canning plant to treat strong organic
wastes encountered in vegetable and fruit processing operations, which
although low in volume (approx. 20% of total), contribute as much as 60%
to the total BOD load. The fitter will be 14 ft. in diameter and 21.5 ft.
high, employing synthetic media and operating in a range between 100 and
200 gpm. It will be subjected to variations in flow, pH control and nu-
trient addition to determine its optimun working parameters. (2) To de-
termine the effectiveness of using an air flotation process with and with-
out addition of flocculants in removing suspended solids prior to secon-
dary treatment. (3) To evaluate center discharge solids separation tech-
niques and its effect on the total BOD content.
A study will also be made of the usage of edible acids as a bacter iostatic
agent to prevent growth in recirculated flume water. Following the one
year testing operation, it is proposed to select units to be incorporated
in full scale plant operations for a further demonstration project. The
reason for the low project cost is due to NCA. already having on hand
several pieces of equipment required to test these processes.
STATUS % Received worthwhile information on operation of units during
last fall's processing operations. Will continue with evaluation of the
various units this fall.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT;
This is a 15 month project to demonstrate, over one full year of
operation, the application of anaerobic lagoons and two-stage trickling
filters for the treatment of strong wastes resulting from the slaughter-
ing and processing of hogs. This plant kills about $000 hogs daily and
waste flows average about 0.85 mgd. Data will be collected on the
strength of wastes and the efficiency of individual treatment units
under various loadings and weather conditions so the results can be
projected for new plants using any combinations of these treatment units.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT; The objectives of this proje.ct to be conducted at the
DelMonte Corporation Plant No. 3 at San Jose, California are as follows:
1. To evaluate the performance and BOD reduction capacity on high
strength liquid canning wastes of a 10,000 gpd trickling filter
unit containing such special features as forced aeration and
temperature control of the treatment column preceeded by grinding
and screening components.
2. To compare the efficiency of this unit with that of the trickling
filter without temperature control and forced aeration operated
under WPRD 151-01-68, by subjecting them both to identical loadings
eminating from the same waste source.
3. To incorporate the results of this evaluation into the design of a
full scale demonstration project to be implemented in 1970. The
six month project is an extension of work initiated under WPRD 251-
01-68.

per day is used in processing and operations. Oil, particulate matter,
and cleaners constitute the principal contaminants in waste waters. The
physical processes of sedimentation and flotation are the most frequent-

PESCRIPTIOM OF PROJECT:
The purpose of this project is to develop detailed information on the
operational techniques required to permit the utilization of a limited
supply of treated domestic wastewaters for a variety of manufacturing
processes. Requirements for control of biological processes in waste-
waters impounded and recycled extensively within manufacturing processes
and operations is "being investigated.
The prolect is being conducted at the Black and Decker Manufacturing _
Compares' Hampstead, Md. plant, Operations in the plant involve stamping,
pressing, punching, grinding, forging, assembly, and performance testing
in a controlled environment requiring 2600 tons of refrigeration for air
conditioning during the warm months. The water supply from wells is very
limited. Domestic wastewaters are treated and routed to a nine acre
impoundment for recirculation through the plant processes and operations.
A "no-additional-cost" time extension has been requested to permit
further evaluation through another summer season.

Industrial wastes from the processing and manufacturing of flat glass
and pressed and blown glassware, pottery and similar products, as well
as structural clay products are included in this sub-program element
together with cement, concrete, and plaster products. Ready-mix and
precasting operations as well as those activities involved with lime
and gypsum products are also included. In addition, non-metallic
mineral items such as asbestos and abrasive products are included.
The objective is to determine quality and quantity of wastes from these
sources and the present treatment practices, if any, to permit the
implementation of new feasible treatment methods with an eye towards
reduced treatment costs, reduced water'use, renovation and reuse of
water, and by-product recovery.
The waste from these processes are composed in part of fine suspen-
sions and sediments of the various non-metallic minerals of the raw
material, or the expended material used in the various manufacturing
operations.
The wastes are varied and voluminous. The separation, transportation
and disposal or reprocessing of these wastes constitute a significant
part of the effort to alleviate the water pollution resulting from
processing of the various materials in this category.

VESCRIPTWU OF PROJECT;
This project is designed to demonstrate the effectiveness of a
total process-water reuse system involving diatomite filtration to
treat wastes from the production of glass fiber insulations and
elements .
The objective of this project is to eliminate completely the
discharge of phenolic waste water from the Johns -Manville Plant. The
plant now discharges 30 to 50 gpm of waste water which eventually
flows into the Maumee River. This river has been cited as one of
the critically polluted rivers of the nation.
The waste water now contains glass fiber, caustic, and phenols.
As a part of the project,' all of the process waste water will be
recirculated. The residual solids, consisting of glass fibers and
phenolic binders, will be removed by screening and diatomite
filtration. Caustic cleaning solutions will be segregated from
the manufacturing process water, ponded, and treated as required
for dumping or for return to plant process use.
PROGRESS TO MARCH 25, 1968; Approval to purchase certain long-rlead items
of equipment on low bids has been given with repayment subject to appro-
val of the final plans and specifications. The final plans and specifica-
tions are complete except for the electrical wiring and should be submitted
for approval within two weeks .

Program Objectives
The R&D program for the textile industry receives support under the
FWQA grant and contract monies from Section 5 and Section 6 of the
Clean Water Restoration Act of 1966. The objectives of the program
are as follows:
(l) To define the water pollution problem as it pertains to the
textile industry.
(2) To research, develop and demonstrate the required technology
to achieve at minimum cost the equivalent of 85% & 95$ re-
moval of contaminants and the technology to achieve water re-
use.
The objectives are met through the awarding of grants and contracts to
universities, industries and municipalities and through in-house re-
search activities carried out by the Southeast Water Laboratory.
The waste water flows may be identified with the following textile
fibers and processing operations:
Cotton: Sizing, desizing, scouring, bleaching, mercerizing, dyeing,
printing, finishing
Wool: Scouring, dyeing, washing, carbonizing, bleaching
Non Cellulose Chemical Fiber: Scouring, dyeing, bleaching, special
finishing.
Cellulose Chemical Fiber: Chemical preparation, scouring, dyeing,
bleaching, special finishes.
In 1964 the textile industry used 315 billion gallons of water for
the manufacturing processes. The fresh water intake was approximately
150 billion gallons, the consumption was 10 billion gallons and the
industry had a water reuse factor of 2.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
An existing facility provides treatment for the combined sanitary and
equalized chemical process waste.waters from a synthetic fiber
manufacturing plant. Treatment facilities consist of extended
activated sludge aeration basins, clarifier, polishing ponds, aerobic
sludge digestion basin, and a sludge holding pond.
The project will evaluate the treatability of this waste in a plastic
media trickling filter, the feasibility of algae removal from the
polishing pond effluent by use of microscreen filters, the
feasibility of BOD, COD, color, odor and taste reduction in the
final effluent by use of powered carbon for the purpose of ultimate
reuse of the effluent as process makeup water, and chromate reduction
of cooling tower blowdown to permit biological treatment.

Dun and Bradstreet lists 20,672 establishments under Standard
Industrial Classification #2^, "Lumber and Wood Products, Except
Furniture." Wastes from the Wood Preserving and Veneer &
Plywood Industries comprises perhaps the greatest problems. The
use of such toxic compounds as pentachlorophenol, and heavy metals
(such as "CCA"copper, chromium and arsenic) in wood preserving, in
addition to urea-formaldehyde and phenolic glues in the plywood
industries provides a challange to normal treatment techniques.
The development of inplant water-use procedures for minimizing
wastes and the study of systems to provide adequate treatment of
the wastes that are produced, are the objectives of this program.

The project objective is to determine the extent of log raft storage at
selected locations in the Pacific Northwest and using data from previous
experiments, evaluate the potential contribution of log raft storage
to water pollution in those areas.
Research efforts during the first two grant years have provided
laboratory and field data which quantitate the pollution contributed by
individual logs, log segments and small groups of logs in various water
storage situations. These data must now be applied to the vast, but
undetermined, quantity of logs in water storage in the Pacific Northwest,
so that a reliable estimate of the magnitudes of this pollution source
can be made. This information is needed by state pollution control
authorities so that log handling and storage activities can be responsibly
controlled.

MISCELLANEOUS INDUSTRIAL SOURCES
Arthur H. Mallon, P.E.
Industrial wastes which are not clearly identified with any of the
foregoing sub-program elements and which are of insufficient number
in any one group to justify a separate category, are included in this
sub-program element.
This designation should in no way be construed as an indicator of low
priority on lack of interest, but rather as a convenience for R&D
management purposes.
Activities involving state-of-the-art reporting on disposal of water
treatment plant sludges as well as on ways of recovering water treat-
ment chemicals are included in this sub-program. Also, removal of
synthetic detergents, reclamation of laundry wastes, as well as water
conservation are activities of concern. In addition the various tan-
ning processes, such as chrome, alum, and vegetable tanning are among
the projects in the miscellaneous industrial category.
Objectives are to demonstrate the effectiveness of anaerobic-aerobic
lagooning of vegetable tanning wastes; to demonstrate the feasibility
of treating three types of leather tannages combined; to demonstrate
the suitability .of treating mixed chrome tannery waste water and
sanitary sewage; to investigate the suitability of water renovation.
and reuse in laundering operations; and to develop means and pro-
cedures for the recovery of water softening chemicals and the dis-
posal of water treatment plant sludges.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT;
The principal investigator has a modified process for the recovery of MgO from
brucite or dolomite to the separation, and essentially quantitative recovery of
the Mg(OH)2 present in lime-soda softening sludges as very pure (99.7$) MgC03.
This new process has been successfully tested on a pilot plant scale at Dayton,
Ohio, for the past year and plans are now being made for the full-scale recovery
of MgC03 from the sludge produced by both of that city's softening plants.
Another improvement of the process, makes it possible for each of the several
cities and industrial plants softening hard surface waters containing clay
turbidity to ^employ both lime recalcination and magnesium recovery. This
will substantially reduce treatment costs and also substantially eliminate
a major water pollution problem. Application of MgCO^ as a coagulant to be
studied include the following:
1. the removal of turbidity and organic color from soft surface
waters.
2. from hard or alkaline surface or well waters.
3- flocculation or sewage and for IT.any types of industrial wastes.
4. with synthetic organic anionic and cationic polymers in (l),
(2)' and (3) above.

PESCRIPTION OF PROJECT: No completely satisfactory method has been de-
vised for treating tannery industrial waste. Since tanneries use large
volmes of water, containing organic and inorganic matter, suitaole treat
ment methods must be found.
The objectives of the project are to demonstrate the ^l^f t£8°2l
Dletely treating tannery waste from the only plant in U.S. that tans all
three types of leather tannages - Chrome, Vegetable and Alum - and to
obtain blsic data to design lull-scale treatment plants usable for any
tannery.
The basic plan is to develop methods to pre-treat the three present leather
tannages' to combine their streams, and to completely treat tannery indus-
trial waste. The high alkaline content of beam house waste will be neu-
tralized with high acid made up of various tannages. The organic solids
will be reduced in an anaerobic-aerobic lagoon.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources with the assistance of the
Battelle Memorial Institute of Columbus, Ohio, will undertake a 12
month project with the following objectives: (1) evaluate the
characteristics of aqueous wastes from selected industries to
determine their amenability to fluidized-bed incineration, (2)
determine the conditions required for burning the selected wastes
so that the carbonaceous constituents will be eliminated without the
production of noxious gases or other air pollution problems, (3)
assess the overall technical and economic feasibility of fluidized-
bed incineration for each waste under consideration. The wastes to be
studied will be from the paint, textile, rubber, and plastics
industries.
The application and use of the fluidized-bed process to water
pollution control provides an effective means of treating certain
types of industrial wastes with the elimination of the discharge
of pollutants into streams and sewers.

JOINT INDUSTRIAL-MUNICIPAL WASTES
ARTHUR H. MALLON, P.E.
Joint Industrial-Municipal Wastes are those wastes, treatable at a
municipal waste treatment plant, which contain an appreciable amount
of waste originating from industrial sources. Projects included in
this subprogram activity are those in which the industrial load is
more than the municipal domestic load.
Among the broad objectives of this subprogram are the demonstration
of the suitability for joint treatment of various categories of
industrial waste; the permissible proportions of a particular industrial
to domestic waste; the ability of various joint systems to satisfy
municipal plant effluent standards; and the capability of joint treat-
ment systems to renovate wastewaters for reuse.
Industries involved in the processing of minerals, carbohydrates,
hydrocarbons, refractory material, and protein material are of most
concern. The wastes are voluminous and of great variety. They may
originate in any of the industries represented by any of the 1200 sub-
program elements. Their volume and composition are best described in
the write-ups of the respective industrial pollution control technology
subprogram elements.
Use of municipal facilities is preferred by a majority of the smaller
industries, and accounts for the largest number of establishments whose
wastes are treated. From a volume standpoint about three-fourths of
industrial wastes are currently treated in industrial waste treatment
facilities and one-fourth are treated in municipal facilities.
Although only 7-5$ of the wastewaters of major industrial establishments
are being disposed of to municipal sewers, sewering provided the principal
waste disposal method for seven of the 11 industrial sectors. The
seven industries include food processing, textiles, rubber and plastics,
machinery, electrical machinery, transportation equipment, and miscellan-
eous manufacturing. The wastes of these seven industries are more
amendable to treatment at municipal treatment plants than the wastes
of the four other industries; paper and allied products, chemicals,
petroleum and coal, and primary metals.
In connection with the trend toward increased use of municipal facilities
by many industries, it is important to note the rapid increase in municipal
treatment capabilities. Both the number of treatment plants and the
average level of treatment have risen steadily, the growth being most marked
since the institution of Federal grants for construction of waste treatment
plants. As recently as I960, almost 30$ of the nation's sewered communities
did not have waste treatment provided to them. By 1962, less than 20$ of
the total number of sewered communities were without waste treatment. In
1970 less than 10$ are without some degree of waste treatment. Moreover,
14-2
-------
well over two-thirds of the sewered communities now have secondary waste
treatment facilities. Thus, municipal facilities have an increasing
potential capacity for handling many industrial wastes.
Jointvsystems for treating both municipal and industrial wastes in many
cases are likely to provide the means of attaining adequate water
pollution control most effectively and least expensively. The extent
to which joint handling systems will increase over the next five years
depends largely upon the managerial ability of municipal and industrial
officials and their willingness to enter into such cooperative arrange-
ments. This, in turn, will depend upon the costs which industrial
establishments are required to pay to use municipally-operated facilities.
To the extent that appropriate charges and pretreatment requirements
are fixed and that joint treatment facilities are designed and operated
effectively, increased use of such facilities by industry may well lower
overall pollution control costs significantly over the next five years.
Reduction of many industrial wastes is often accomplished most efficiently
and economically by process modifications. While the rate and effects of
technological change are difficult to evaluate, quantities of water used
per unit of production have been decreasing in most industries while
recycling to make more efficient use of water is increasing. Moreover,
modern operational practices and engineering design increasingly stress
waste control.
Industrial waste treatment costs are affected significantly by the methods
industry employs to reduce its wastes. In general, waste reduction may
be accomplished through treatment by municipal facilities, by on-site
treatment, through process changes which lessen the amount or strength
of wastes generated, by ground disposal, or by combinations of these
alternatives.
There is potentially great savings through the "economy of scale" when
the treatment facilities are designed to serve joint municipal-industrial
needs. It is the intention of our program to thoroughly research this area.
Included here is the possibilility of encouraging industries to utilize
the municipal waste handling systems on a special fee basis.

modifications for treating combined municipal and industrial
(primarily paper mill) waste waters. A pilot waste water treatment
plant for each process will be operated, in parallel. Tha effluent
quality, operating parameters, design variables, and cost relation-
ships for each process will be determined. Each pilot plant will
have a 1 to 1O gpm capacity for combined waste waters. After se-
lecting the most promising process, an existing 60 gpm pilot plant
will be modified to suit the selected process and will be operated
for a year to demonstrate its performance and to generate perfor-
mance data. The final objective is to evaluate the design, per-
formance, and use of the systems and to generalize the results for
applicability to other locations.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
This project is to evaluate pretreatment techniques for textile dyeing
wastes. The dye wastes are reduced sulfur compounds with a high
immediate and ultimate oxygen demand that cannot be satisfied in an
activated sludge system. The pretreatment technique is to provide
initial oxidation by diffused aeration, chlorination, and the separate
additions of sodium nitrate and potassium permanganate. Ammoniation
will also be used. The project will be for two years and include
a waste source investigation, detailed baseline analyses, construction
of the pretreatment facilities and full scale paralleling of the
treatment system, and evaluation of the pretreatment techniques.

A full scale (2-4 MGD) demonstration and evaluation of the joint treat-
ment of industrial herbicide and municipal wastes, by the use of a
municipal biological system composed of: primary clarification, bio-filters,
aerated and stabilization ponds. The herbicides are of the chloro and chloro-
oxyacetic acid deriviatives of phenol. Investigations will be conducted
to determine how the concentration of the phenolics in a receiving stream
can be reduced to a level below the tests and odor threshold, also to in-
vestigate the biological factors related to the removal of the herbicides
during treatment. Suitable methods are to be developed for the identification
of the various herbicide compounds. The adequacy of nutrient values in the
joint waste to allow complete bio-processing of chlorophenolics and related
compounds will also be demostrated

pSSCP.IPTION OF PROJECT;
A three year comprehensive program with an estimated tota?.. cost of $3, ?00,000
is planned for pollution abatement from the cheese industiy, which contributes
approximately SO percent of the industrial BOD load in the State of Vermont.
The program win demonstrate the, feasibility of economically eliminating 95
percent°of the total whey produced in the State by use of a central whey _ drying
facility wttLch will produce material suitable for human consumption. This
facility, to be located in East Georgia, Vermont, will have a processing capa-
city of- 375,000,000 pounds of fluid whey per year. A study of unit process
operations of Chedder, Cottage, Bakers and Moazarella 'plants will be cono.uc.ed
to increase solids recovery and miniMze waste generation. Concentration Ox,
and utilization of cottage cheese rinse waters is planned, as well as deter-
of most suitable forms of treatment for the residual wastes.

DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT
During the 20 month grant period, the grantee will verify the design
parameters for, and determine the feasibility of operating, en aerobic-
anaerobic pretreatment system for a citrus fruit processing plant. The
treatment facility will be located on city property and will be operated
by the City. The pretreatment system consists of two aerobic basins
with mechanical aerators and two anaerobic basins. These basins will be
operated in sequences and combinations and under various biological con-
ditions to determine the optimum system. The hydraulic capacity of
the system is 1^4,000 gallons per day with effluent requirements of
250 mg/1 BOD, 100 mg/1 Suspended Solids, and a PH of 6.5-8.5.

pollution control. Landmark amendments to the Federal Water Pollution
Control Act occurred in 1961, 1965, and 1966. And the Water Quality

Laws and regulations, both federal and state, have changed— are still
was considered quite comprehensive for its time. Given new stature and
state and local responsibility. The federal government got into the picture
twenty-two years ago, only when it had become quite clear that the
states must have help to get the job done. But Congress was cautious—
the first federal program was small and weak, operating in its first eight
years on a temporary, trial basis.
Viewing the size of the water pollution problem today, it seems
incredible that the federal program— as it was due to expire at mid-1956—
had fewer than 100 employees nation-wide and a budget of only $800,000.
By comparison, our Federal Water Quality Administration today
employs approximately 2500 people. Its fiscal 1970 funding was nearly
|900 million, the largest ever. But this was not enough.
At no time in the history of this federal program has government
spending— federal, state, and local combined— been sufficient to meet the
spiraling needs in water pollution control.
Building upon the older trial legislation, Congress in 1956 enacted
the first permanent Federal Water Pollution Control Act. The new act

SCOPE is now functioning as a student-managed organization estab-
lished on college and university campuses across the country. Its regional
headquarters are in Boston, Charlottesville, Cincinnati, Chicago, Kansas
City, Atlanta, Dallas, San Francisco, and Portland.
SCOPE has established a means of direct access for students to
federal officials and government departments concerned wtih the environ-
ment, so we can put their ideas into the decision-making process.
As Secretary Hickel has said: "Through SCOPE we are showing
government that it pays to listen— as well as talk. At the same time, we
can provide them with our informational research, and technical facilities
for their use in developing new programs."
SCOPE'S eighty-one student representatives— nine from each of our
nine FWQA regions— have had two meetings with Secretary Hickel in
Washington.
We are exploring the possibilities of expanding SCOPE into an inter-
departmental organization, so that it can have impact on all federal agen-
cies working on water, air, and land pollution problems. Already this
student group is assisting us greatly as an "early warning system." When
major pollution is spotted or when major projects are launched without
regard to the environment, SCOPE is notifying the proper authorities.
On April 6 this year, Secretary Hickel announced the formation of a
Task Force on Environmental Education and Youth Activities to co-
ordinate educational and action programs involving youth and the
environment.
"The condition and the future of our environment have been taken
up by American youth with great commitment and enthusiasm," Secretary
Hickel said. "They have risen to the moment. It is now essential that the
federal government open its doors to the resources of the nation's young
people who are concerned. Government must prove that it can respond."
The Task Force's immediate projects include being the liaison group
for SCOPE and to make recommendations for the creation of a national
Environmental Control Organization (ECO).
The Task Force also is programmed to provide a focal point within
the Interior Department for its participation in future national student
teach-ins. Upon request, the group will provide assistance, information,
and speakers to colleges, high schools, and private organizations. ECO
has been proposed by the Secretary as an organization similar to the

Special programs are under way also in a number of critical areas:
oil spills in coastal and navigable waters; thermal pollution from heated
waste waters; accelerated eutrophication or aging of lakes and estuaries;
wastes from animal feed lots; wastes from watercraft; agricultural runoff
which carries sediment, pesticides, and fertilizers to our streams; excessive
runoff from urban areas where single sewer systems carry both sanitary
wastes and storm waters.
Most of these problems have emerged and proliferated to the critical
stage only in recent years as populations have grown, as cities have
spread to megalopolitan proportions, as industry and technology have
expanded.
About 20 per cent of our agency's staff is maintained in the Washing-
ton, D.C., area, physically located in Arlington, Virginia. Since the
program is basically a field operation, 80 per cent of the staff is assigned

which is not now available.
We are encouraging the establishment of regional waste treatment
systems wherever appropriate.
Bright new municipal treatment plants will not in themselves help to
curb water pollution. We have proposed a federal requirement that
new plants be of approved design and maintain a satisfactory level of
operation and maintenance. We also plan to require state certification of
waste treatment plant operators.
Industry is also a major polluter. It is estimated that the treated and
untreated industrial wastes discharged to our waterways are equal to
the untreated sewage of 165 million persons. Moreover, industry's volume
of wastes is growing several times as fast as that of sanitary sewage.
Nevertheless, I am happy to report that large segments of industry
are now falling into step in support of pollution control. Industrial
investments in this respect rose from $500 million in 1968 to $700
million in 1969.

eye can see and the nose can smell. Our challenges lie in attacking the
subtle, long-term pollutants— the exotic chemicals, the minerals, the
radioactive, thermal, and other substances. These are the unseen menaces
to our water environment— the pollutants that prevent trout eggs from
hatching, that encroach upon shellfish beds in coastal waters, poisonous
substances that may have carcinogenic or genetic effects.
CAREERS IN CLEAN WATER PROGRAMS
With the increasing emphasis on water pollution control, the need for
trained personnel in this field has become particularly acute.
The need extends from postgraduate trained sicentists and engineers
to men for the day-to-day operation of thousands of sewage treatment
plants. A wide variety of skills is needed in federal, state and city govern-
ments, and throughout the industrial sector.
To help meet the needs in manpower development, the Federal
Water Quality Administration is taking a number of approaches. These
include financial support in the form of grants to the universities to
assure an adequate flow of engineers, scientists, and other professionals
in our field; short-term training to upgrade the skills of those already in
the field; and a cooperative venture with other government agencies—

ties have been involved. An estimated $10 billion remedial action pro-
gram, providing cleaner waters for some 47 million people, has stemmed
from the federal enforcement effort. A commendable achievement— but it
has not rolled back water pollution far enough, fast enough.
Early in his tenure, Secretary of the Interior Walter J. Hickel
announced a tough, comprehensive enforcement policy. He has followed
through on it, using every procedure at his command.
The President has proposed bold new steps in the area of enforce-
ment. He, too, has taken a tough posture on penalties for polluters. His
proposals include court-imposed fines of $10,000 a day for non-compliance
