title: Effect of storage upon the toxicity of synfuel process waters to bacteria.
abstract: Storage of synfuel process waters at 4 degrees C for 8 years appeared to reduce the toxicity of these waters to indicator bacteria. When these waters were mixed in the amount of 10 percent process waters to 90 percent sewage, heterotrophic bacteria grew which indicate that storage or aeration may improve the treatability of these waters.
