High-Volume, High-Load—Solved Naturally with DeurRR

The Problem: Fiber-Rich, Chemically Complex Effluents in Paper Industry Wastewater plant

The paper industry wastewater plant is a major environmental concern due to its fiber-rich content and chemically complex effluents. These effluents often contain lignin, bleaching agents, and suspended solids that are difficult to treat using conventional methods. The combination of fiber-rich materials and chemical contaminants increases the organic load and toxicity, making efficient treatment essential. Without proper handling, paper industry wastewater plant can harm aquatic life and disrupt ecosystems. Advanced and sustainable treatment solutions are required to manage these chemically complex effluents effectively, ensuring regulatory compliance and environmental safety.

Ph
4.5–10.5, disrupts biological treatment
Sludge Volume
High, cellulose-heavy and hard to handle
Color (Lignin Compounds)
High, persistent hue, hard to treat
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
1000–6000 mg/L, fibers clog filters
Chlorinated Organics (AOX)
0.5–10 mg/L, toxic and regulated
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
2000–70000 mg/L, lignin drives load
Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD₅)
500–30000 mg/L, overloads aerobic systems
Foam, Odor
Moderate–High, microbial and resin-induced

paper industry wastewater plant FAQs

DeurRR uses HerbX (plant-based coagulants) and nanobubble flotation to settle solids efficiently-reducing sludge and clogging without synthetic polymers.

Yes, DeurRR achieves up to 80% color removal by oxidizing lignin and brown pigments through its ioniX hydroxyl radical oxidation process.

Yes, DeurRR operates effectively across a wide pH range (4.5-10.5) without additional chemicals, unlike traditional systems that require pH correction.

DeurRR eliminates the need for heavy chemicals, activated carbon, or RO, offering a low-footprint, eco-friendly, plug-and-play solution with HerbX + ioniX synergy.

DeurRR rapidly degrades resins, organics, and lignin-based COD/BOD using ioniX-powered oxidation, achieving 60-80% reduction with no biological system overload.
