Hi Anthony,
A general waste disposal guideline that I use for liquid waste to the
POTW is:
BOD: 200 mg/liter max
COD: 300 mg/liter max
Benzene: 0.050 mg/liter max
BETX: 0.750 mg/liter max
Temperature: no greater than 104 deg. F
Ph: no less than 5, no greater than 12.
Please be advised that there is a lot of local variation on this.
The chemical oxygen demand (COD) is probably the issue you will need to
deal with, although this is more relevant for organic rather than
inorganic compounds.
