Roundup On High-Strength Wastewater: Treatment Challenges And Solutions
Published on by Kevin Westerling, Chief Editor at Water Online
High-strength wastewater is commonly overlooked when implementing onsite or decentralized wastewater treatment. Many wastewater sources are viewed as similar to residential sources and lumped into the “domestic strength” waste category, only to find that there is much higher than anticipated organic loading and insufficient pretreatment prior to discharge.
While the definition of high-strength waste (HSW) varies among agencies and publications, the consensus is that wastewater is high strength when biochemical oxygen demand (BOD); total suspended solids (TSS); fats, oils, and greases (FOGs); and nitrogen are higher than typical domestic wastewater. Typically, high-strength wastewater results from industrial or commercial sources. These sources are often variable, with fluctuating concentrations and higher potential for co-contaminants that may impact treatment effectiveness.
