Pretreatment definition

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a POTW.

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a POTW. The reduction or alteration may be obtained by physical, chemical, or biological processes, by process changes, or by other means, except as prohibited in 40 CFR 403.6(d).

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to, or in lieu of, introducing such pollutants into the POTW. This reduction or alteration can be obtained by physical, chemical, or biological processes; by process changes; or by other means, except by diluting the concentration of the pollutants unless allowed by an applicable pretreatment standard.

Examples of Pretreatment in a sentence

• For the purposes of this agreement, a “compliance inspection” includes, but is not limited to: a compliance evaluation, compliance sampling, performance audit, biomonitoring, toxic sampling, diagnostic, reconnaissance, follow-up, construction site and industrial inspections, audits, aerial photography, case follow up, and Pretreatment Program inspections (Ecology only).

• If the County decides to expand the operation of the Pretreatment Plant to allow liquid waste haulers (“Haulers’) to discharge within the Pretreatment Plant, sufficient allocation shall be purchased through Upper Macungie Township (“Hauler Allocation”) as enabled by Section 6 of the Amendment to the I April 1983 Wastewater Treatment Capacity Allocation Agreement, dated 17 April 1991.7 Such allocation shall be purchased at the then current Authority rate for allocation.

• In the event that all or a portion of the Xxxxx Reserve shall not be required by Xxxxx and the capacity has been purchased from the City by the Authority, such capacity shall be transferred to Lehigh County for use of Pretreatment Plant customers only, except in the event that Xxxxx shall not require the Xxxxx Reserve as a result of utilizing an alternative means of transporting and treating its wastewater, then said capacity shall be returned to the Authority without reimbursement of any fees paid.

• The Xxxxx Reserve shall be held in reserve through 1 August 1996 for future Xxxxx purchase provided that commencing at the time of Successful Start Up of the Pretreatment Plant, a reservation fee of Twenty Thousand ($20,000) Dollars shall be paid annually (the “Xxxxx Reservation Fee”) by Upper Macungie to the Authority.

• An allocation of 500,000 gpd of treatment capacity (“Xxxxx Reserve”) shall be available to Upper Macungie Township for the Xxxxx Brewery (“Xxxxx”), provided that the Xxxxx Reserve shall not be available until the Successful Start Up of the Lehigh County Pretreatment Plant, as specified in paragraph 4 of the 1986 Agreement (“Successful Start Up”), has been attained.

More Definitions of Pretreatment

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a publicly owned treatment works. The reduction or alteration may be obtained by physical, chemical, or biological processes, process changes or by other means, except as prohibited by 40 CFR 403.6(d). Appropriate pretreatment technology includes control equipment, such as equalization tanks or facilities, for protection against surges or slug loadings that might interfere with or otherwise be incompatible with the publicly owned treatment works. However, where wastewater from a regulated process is mixed in an equalization facility with unregulated wastewater or with wastewater from another regulated process, the effluent from the equalization facility must meet an adjusted pretreatment limit calculated in accordance with 40 CFR 403.6(e).

Pretreatment means the treatment of wastewaters from sources before introduction into the wastewater treatment works.

Pretreatment means application of physical, chemical and/or biological processes to reduce the amount of pollutants in or to alter the nature of the pollutant properties in Wastewater prior to discharging such Wastewater into the Wastewater Treatment System.

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater before or instead of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into the POTW. The reduction or alteration may be obtained by physical, chemical, or biological processes; process changes; or other means, except for the use of dilution (unless expressly authorized by any applicable pretreatment standard or requirement and the POTW Manager). Appropriate pretreatment technology includes control equipment, such as equalization tanks or facilities, for protection against surges or slug loadings, subject to applicable requirements of local, state and federal laws and regulations.

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of pollutants, the elimination of pollutants, or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater prior to or in lieu of discharging, or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a POTW. The reduction or alteration may be obtained by physical, chemical, or biological treatment processes, by BMPs, by pollution prevention alternatives including process changes, material substitutions, improved operating practices and recycling, or by other means, except as prohibited by paragraph (F) of rule 3745-36-09 of the Administrative Code.

Pretreatment means a process that preconditions wastewater to neutralize or remove toxic, priority, or non- conventional pollutants that could ad- versely affect sewers or inhibit a pre- liminary, primary, secondary, ad- vanced, or tertiary treatment oper- ation.

Pretreatment means the reduction of the amount of a "pollutant(s)," the elimination of "pollutant(s)," or the alteration of the nature of pollutant properties in wastewater to a less harmful state prior to or in lieu of discharging or otherwise introducing such pollutants into a "publicly or privately owned treatment works." The reduction or alteration can be obtained by physical, chemical or biological processes, process changes or by other means, except as prohibited by rule 335-6-5-.06.
