Commentary on Appropriate Wastewater Treatment System for a Natural Rubber Processing Factory

Abstract

In this commentary, the process performance of natural rubber processing wastewater systems was evaluated and compared. The key factors evaluated in here comprised the following: the type of wastewater, the prevention of system clogging by coagulated rubber, and the reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This commentary examined these variables in existing systems and in a pilot-scale reactor system for wastewater treatment. Then an appropriate wastewater treatment system was proposed.
