Non-wood fiber wastewater streams are equally responsive to wastewater treatment technologies
commonly employed for managing conventional pollutants at wood fiber-based pulp and paper facilities.
That said, the lower lignin content and differences in cell structure of non-wood fiber generally contribute
to less intense mechanical or chemical processes required to pulp and bleach non-wood fibers. This
leads to lower discharges of substances contributing to chemical oxygen demand (COD) in wastewater.
