I am intrested in knowing COD/BOD reduction in primary treatment of paper mill effluent. The mill effluent contains very high TSS, mainly contributed from deinking process. If anyone has experience or case study.
Vit, it is being treated separately through gravity table and screw press. I need to design biological system after mixing deinking sludge and other waste. Want to understand COD reduction possible in deinking sludge treatment
Yashwant: commonly separated deinking sludge is not treated biologically. It is for example incinerated (https://www.doria.fi/bitstream/handle/10024/93794/nbnfi-fe201311217381.pdf?sequence=2) for energy recovery or landfilling (http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10934529309375919?journalCode=lesa19) are acceptable means for disposal of deinking sludge.
