WATER POLLUTION CONTROL

THE TREATMENT OF WASTE OILS IN RAILWAY WASTE WATER IS REPORTED. SUCH WASTES ARE OF TWO TYPES, NAMELY, THOSE WHICH ARE FREE FLOATING AND WITH LITTLE OR NO EMULSIONS AND MINIMUM SETTLEABLE SOLIDS (CONTROLLED BY A GRAVITY TYPE CLARIFIER), AND THOSE WHICH ARE FREE FLOATING, WITH EMULSIONS AND SETTLEABLE SOLIDS. DETAILS ARE GIVEN OF METHODS OF SEPARATION OF THESE TWO CLASSES OF LIQUID WASTE. THE LATTER CLASS OF WASTE IS CONTROLLED BY METHODS AND EQUIPMENT DESIGNED TO REGULATE PH, BREAK EMULSIONS AND REMOVE SETTLEABLE SOLIDS. DIAGRAMS ILLUSTRATING DESIGN FACILITIES ARE PRESENTED. MISCELLANEOUS CONSIDERATIONS ARE PRESENTED.
