Turn the Art of Wastewater into the Science of Wastewater, TAPPICon25

In every pulp, paper and recycling facility, a common general layout can be found. There are different islands of production with materials entering, a product exiting and waste material leaving in a process sewer. There are typically multiple production areas with products passing from one area to another for further processing or passing out to be sold. Waste materials from the process flow into the process sewers and are typically carried by water. LOTS of water.

The chart at the right shows the Toxic Release Inventory (TRI) published by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). (1) For some perspective, in the pulp and paper industry alone, approximately 17,000 gallons/ton of water is used making paper. (2) After process losses, 85 – 90% of that water makes it to a wastewater treatment plant (WTP), (3) or 8% of the treated water released in the United States.
