Fate and emission of methyl mercaptan in a full-scale A2/O plant using TOXCHEM Simulation

Methyl mercaptan (methanethiol) is one of the essential volatile, repugnant compounds released from wastewater treatment plants. This work uses a TOXCHEM simulator to model emission production and dispersal of odorous methyl mercaptan gas in full-scale A2/O plants. The sewage treatment plant (STP) in Karbala served as...
