The pulp and paper industry has been recognized as one of the largest users water worldwide. Water is used in nearly every step manufacturing process. It generates significant amounts wastewater leftover sludge, creating several problems for treatment, discharge, sludge disposal. Adopting most effective economical treatment techniques before discharging therefore crucial. Thus, this study aims to evaluate performance activated bioreactor system (ASBS) (PPIW). PPIW was characterized. During...
