Characterization Studies of Wastewater Generated from Military Installations.
Abstract
The objective of this research was directed toward the identification of characteristics of various wastewater streams generated from military bare bases. DATAa on the sources, volume, and nature of military wastewaters, such as laundry wastewater, kitchen and dining hall wastewaters, shower and lavatory wastewaters, human wastewater, hospital wastewater, photographic wastewaters, washrack wastewaters, and combined wastewaters, were surveyed, compiled and documented in this report. Based on the characteristic data for field kitchen, shower and laundry wastewaters, the nature of combined wastewaters derived from these three sources at various flow proportions was mathematically calculated. The calculated data for combined wastewaters were found to be in close agreement with the measured data for actual samples. Synthetic wastewater prepared with tap water, laundry detergent, dishwasher detergent, ground bar soap, Bentonite clay, lubricating oil and canned dog food was found to have characteristics similar to those of the combined wastewater derived from field kitchens, laundries, and showers.
