Project Title Efficient Pricing for Urban Waste Water RennvatinnPrincipal Investigators Rein Laak, Robert L. Leonard, and Hayrettin Kardestuncer

Project Began (Mo.-Yr.) July 1970 Project Ended (Mo.-Yr.) Dec. 1972

PROJECT OBJECTIVES:

1) To identify for selected urban waste water renovation plants theimpact of each major industrial waste component on the effectivenessof the treatment process and on operation and maintenance costs.

2) To estimate reductions in particular waste components needed tomake possible the production of an acceptable effluent withoutmajor capital expenditure at the treatment plant.

3) To identify process changes and additions needed to produce anaffluent of the quality expected from secondary treatment andch lo r ina t ion w i th no reduc t ion in was tes rece ived .

4) To estimate the increased capital and operating costs likely toresult from treating various amounts of each major industrialw a s t e a t a n a p p r o p r i a t e l y d e s i g n e d p l a n t .

5) To develop pricing systems which will promote an effective andefficient combination of industrial waste control at the source,pre t reatment a t the source, and fina l t reatment a t the munic ipa lp l a n t .
