The pulp and paper industry has made significant steps toward
conserving water and energy.
Significant water reductions are achieved through better reuse
methods and by separating cooling water from process water.

Liquids discharges from the process contain solids, mainly fiber, fillers,
and colloidal and dissolved material. The fiber and fillers are minimized
and reused. Colloidal and dissolved materials are by-products of the
refining of the fibers or carried over from the pulp mill.
Discharges of dissolved material are minimized by washing the stock and
displaced carryover from pulp mills and by practicing good water reuse
strategies that reduce the volume and concentrations of waste in
wastewater.

Laws such as NEPA, TCSA, CAAA and PPA remain outside the scope of
most pollution control work. The following options were suggested
for USEPA for moving forward interaction in the US:
1. Add multi-media provisions to the existing regulations.
2. Correct laws in other policy sectors with environmental measures.
3. Make NEPA a stronger statute.
4. Make TSCA a law which can use EPA programs to control and reduce
toxic substances.
5. Establish pollution prevention approaches.

Figure 1. Conceptual treatment program for
organic and toxic industrial wastewater
For wastewaters containing nontoxic organics, process design criteria can be obtained from lab
studies.
To define the wastewater treatment problems, a preliminary analysis should be carried out:
