ADVANCED WASTEWATER TREATMENT OF A
PETROLEUM POLLUTED WASTEWATER
Abstract
The ultimate goal of this work was to recommend and install the necessary
advanced wastewater treatment facilities to allow Southern Service Company
to continue discharging wastewater into St. Bernard Sewerage District No. 1
sanitary sewer system. As of June 14, 1976, these facilities were installed
and fully operational. The resulting waste-water effluent was tested and
found to be totally acceptable for discharge into the municipal system.
The effluent contains COD and oil and grease in concentrations much less than
that of typical raw domestic sewage. There are no suspended present, the pH
is neutral, and the effluent has only a slightly noticeable kerosene-type
odor. Discharge of this effluent will not effect the municipal treatment
plant's performance, nor will it cause any maintenance problems in the rr.unicipal
sewer lines.
