3.0 Treatment 3.1 Industrial Water Quality Requirements TM3: Recycled Wastewater System Components and Costs Recycling Treated Municipal Wastewater for Industrial Water Use There are two water quality drivers that affect the treatment requirements for reclaimed water: The regulatory requirements which are typically for the protection of public health and the environment and focus on microbiological parameters. The user-specific requirements for the water supply, which in the case of industries is a very specific set of water quality criteria for a given facility. 3.1.1 Regulatory Requirements Reclaimed water for industrial use in Minnesota is currently required to meet regulatory limits based on the California Water Recycling Criteria, Title 22 California Code of Regulations (Title 22). The complete list of criteria is included in Appendix A, Exhibit 1. The criteria specific to industrial applications (excluding any irrigation uses) are listed in Table 1. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) handles permitting recycled wastewater as part of the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit process. The MPCA establishes recycled wastewater water quality criteria on a case-by-case basis and bases its assessment on the Title 22 criteria. Therefore, the Title 22 criteria will serve as the basis for selection of treatment technologies to meet regulatory requirements in this study. Table 1. California Water Recycling Criteria (Industrial Uses) Type of Use Total Coliform Limits Treatment Required Cooling water where no mist created ≤ 23/100 ml Process water where no worker contact Boiler feed Mixing concrete 1 ≤ 240/100 ml Secondary (max in any 30- Disinfection day period) Cooling water where mist created 2 Process water where worker contact likely ≤ 2.2/100 ml 1 ≤ 23/100 ml (max in any 30day period) Secondary Coagulation 3 Filtration Disinfection Source: Adapted from State of California [2000a]. 1 Based on running 7-day median; daily sampling is required. 2 Drift eliminator required; chlorine or other biocide required to treat cooling water to control Legionella and other microorganisms. 3 Not required under certain conditions.
