Total suspended solids I (TSS) One of the concerns about using a septic tanMeach field system is that photographic effluents can adversely affect the anaero
21、bic digestion system unless the effluents are heavily diluted with domestic wastes. Another concern is that the soil may not have ade- quate capacity to absorb the leach field runoff. With a septic tanlleach field system, care must be taken to prevent contamination of ground water. 200 to 1,000 Most
22、 states have regulations governing industrial dis- charges (for example, photoprocessing effluent) to ground waters. In addition, many states and localities have regulations on the design, installation and testing of septic tank systems. Total dissolved solids I (TDS) Photoprocessing laboratories us

The local munic
25、ipal sewer authority regulates the on-site dis- charge of photoprocessing effluent to municipal sewer systems. To determine permitting requirements, review the municipal sewer-use code or contact the local sewer authority. Municipal sewer code parame- 10 to 40 0.001 to 100 ter limits are set by each
26、 communitys local sewer authority. These pollutant limits and the local regula- tions can be found in the local sewer-use codes or ordinances. The pollutant limits will vary with each community, depending on which effluent constituents and characteristics the sewer authority believes the local POTW
27、can safely handle. The municipal code may specify surcharges for excess concentrations of some parameters, such as the following: - biochemical oxygen demand (BOD,), - chemical oxygen demand (COD), - suspended solids, - chlorine demand. Oil and grease Chromium Because most photoprocessing laboratori
28、es are located in urban areas and discharge their effluent directly to public sewers, municipal sewer code regu- lations are of high concern. Pollutants most frequently regulated and their typical limits are shown in table 1. A particular communitys code may regulate less or more parameters and will
29、 likely have different limits than those shown.

This temperature range from a pro- cessing laboratory should not prese
46、nt a problem to a municipal sewer system. 8.2 Oxygen demand BOD, and COD are procedures used to determine the amount of oxygen that will be consumed by effluent. 8.2.1 BOD, The BOD, test measures the quantity of oxygen that the effluent, chemical, or solution will consume over a five day period thro
47、ugh biological degradation. It is important to know the oxygen demand of discharged waste because the waste can overload the aeration capacity of a municipal second- ary wastewater treatment plant if the waste demands too much oxygen. Discharging improperly treated wastes could deplete the amount of
48、 dissolved oxygen in a receiving body of water. Normally, water contains 7 to 9 mg/L of dissolved oxygen at 70 F (21 C). (This concentration decreases as the temperature increases.) Most fish and other aquatic life require 5 mg/L to 7 mg/L of dissolved oxygen for survival. Amounts of dissolved oxyge
49、n below these levels can affect aquatic life and may also result in the production of strong smelling gases. A BOD, of 400 mg/L or 400 parts per million (ppm) would mean that 1 liter of the effluent would consume 400 milligrams of oxygen in 5 days in a natural body of water. The BOD, analysis attempts to duplicate in the labo- ratory the environmental conditions in a receiving body of water and to measure the oxygen demand that the discharged material places on the body of water. The test is highly dependent on several variables, including the following: - tempera
