2 PagesWater Technologies & Solutions case study food manufacturer uses Total Organic Carbon (TOC) to understand and control wastewater strength challenge A food manufacturing facility utilizes a publicly owned wastewater treatment facility to process their wastewater after pretreatment. Facility wastewater discharges are combined from production units into three different equalization tanks (East EQ, West EQ and Monitoring Tank). Two of the tanks are adjusted for pH and the third is untreated. Effluent from all tanks then enter aeration and biological treatment before being discharged. 24-hour composite samples from each outfall are collected daily to determine the wastewater strength. The samples are then analyzed with Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD). The BOD and flow dat
