Examples of Total Suspended Solids in a sentence

  • The Treatment Plant shall provide facilities to treat all effluent to the following levels: Characteristic Effluent Limit BOD5, mg/l Less than 30 mg/l Total Suspended Solids, TSS, mg/l Less than 30 mg/L BOD5 and TSS limits shall be based on 30 day (monthly) average values of tests performed daily on 24 hour composite samples of effluent.

  • The Town’s monthly billing is based on the daily flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) loading, and Total Suspended Solids (TSS).

  • Membrane Bioreactor (MBR) treatment technology represents the best available wastewater treatment technology and has the capability to significantly improve the effluent quality from the BBMUA treatment plant by reducing Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorous, Total Suspended Solids, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, E.

  • BBMUA’s use of best available wastewater treatment technology will attain compliance with the CMP’s water quality requirement of two parts per million nitrate/nitrogen and importantly, will reduce both concentrations (part per million) and mass loadings (pounds) of Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous, as well as reduce Total Suspended Solids, Biochemical Oxygen Demand, Chemical Oxygen Demand, E.

  • Constructed project will provide water quality benefits including reductions in Total Suspended Solids and Sediment.
