Section 2:
INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER COLLECTION AND TREATMENT
2.1
Objectives. Industrial waste should be collected in a
manner that avoids unsafe conditions to personnel, equipment,
and facilities. Industrial wastes should either be pretreated
sufficiently to be accommodated in a domestic wastewater
collection and treatment system, or provided with a separate
collection and treatment system. Refer to NAVFACINST 4862.5,
Industrial Facilities Acquisition Projects Which Involve Complex
Processes or Hazardous/Toxic Materials, before proceeding on an
industrial wastewater control project. Bench scale or pilot
plant treatability studies to evaluate the effectiveness of the
proposed physical, chemical, or biological unit processes may be
needed for design of industrial waste treatment facilities.
These studies should be conducted on the waste stream, if
available, or on an equivalent waste stream at another Naval
facility. As a minimum, jar tests should be conducted prior to
chemical process design to determine the reactor design
criteria, process control and operating strategy, sludge
production, and sludge characteristics. Using new membrane
technologies, consideration must be made for brine generation
that can be nonhazardous and discharged directly to a publicly
owned treatment works (POTW). Pilot and bench scale studies
should simulate the complete series of proposed unit process
treatment steps using the same wastewater sample. This will
identify any adverse effects of upstream treatment processes on
subsequent treatment steps.
2.2
Industrial Pollutants. Industrial wastewaters contain
pollutants that can be divided into two types (conventional or
toxic) depending on their degree of impact on the environment.
2.2.1
Conventional Pollutants. Conventional pollutants are
BOD, TSS, pH, fecal coliform, oil, and grease.
