Effects of treatment and flow on the deoxygenation rate constant
175-185The laboratory bench-scale experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of varying degrees of waste treatment and the flow conditions in the receiving waters on the deoxygenation rate constant, and ultimate biochemical oxygen demand, and the total O//2 utilization of the receiving waters. Industrial wastewaters were collected from 10 major industrial plants located along the Houston Ship Channel in Texas. Two different degrees of treatment for industrial wastewaters were studied. Three different flow conditions studied were the high, the average and the low flow in the Houston Ship Channelhttp://gbic.tamug.edu/request.ht
