Champion Paper Case Study

In August 2004, tests were conducted on 2 Primary Aerated stabilization basins with approximately 2,200 horse power (hp) of aeration capacity. The 2 Basins consisted of approximately 12.3 surface acres with an average water depth of 12 ft.

The wastewater treatment system is designed based upon an annual average daily flow (AADF) of 23.8 MGD of industrial process wastewater, storm water associated with industrial activity, and pretreated sanitary wastewaters, which are associated with a kraft pulp mill which produces a combination of 1,579 Air-dried tons (ADT) of Integrated production of unbleached linerboard Kraft paper and 465 (ADBT) of Integrated production of bleached Kraft pulp.
