Technical Bulletin No. 0382: A Review of Ultimate BOD Estimation and Its Kinetic Formulation for Pulp and Paper Mill Effluents

This technical bulletin is the last in a series developed from the database collected in the National Council's Mathematical Water Quality Modeling field study program on the Ouchita River. The subject of this technical bulletin is the estimation of the ultimate BOD of treated effluents and receiving waters for determining the deoxygenation rates to be used in mathematical water quality modeling. The procedures for determining long term BOD are described.
