A Feasibility Study: Using Wastewater Monitoring to Track Fibre Fragment Release
September 2024
Investigating the correlation between fibre fragmentation and total suspended solids (TSS) in wastewater for suppliers.
Summary
A project between TMC and ZDHC found a correlation between Total Suspended Solids (TSS) measurements and microfibre concentration.
