Wastewater Treatment Facility.

The plant has waste generation of approximately 600 kg/h

from line 8-W of Vessel V-100 that separates water from the ethylene oxide. The waste is

composed of 0.937 mol fraction of water and the remaining fraction was from the ethylene

oxide. The higher concentration of ethylene oxide solution can generally be used for cleaning

and disinfection. Thus, the waste can undergo directly to the waste water facility. Domestic

waste water from restrooms, sinks, cleaning, etc. also goes directly to the treatment facility.

The plant’s WWTF treats the all the company’s waste water collected by the sewerage system.

Manila Bay will be the receiving body of water with Class SB required for the receiving body of

water (PEMSEA, 2006).

The configuration of the waste water treatment facility follow the procedure below:

Cushman-Roisin (2019) stated that an employee utilizes an approximate of 35 gallons per day of

water. Since the company has 180 employee and consumes 35 gallons per day (132.5 L/day)
