English term or phrase: strong waste
Hey there! This term occurs in connection to a procedure to process a bulk batch. The text says that a batch could be considered strong waste before the beggining of the filling process.

I've also found that this term is "applied to the relative strength of a commercial, industrial, or institutional discharge into a sewer system." To be conidered strong waste, the discharge must exceed a certain amount.

Could you please help me with Spanish. I found "residuos mayores" but I don't know if my English term translates like this. Thnx

Reference: strong waste

Reference information:
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)
Biochemical oxygen demand, generally referred to as BOD, is a measure of the oxygen utilized by bacteria to reduce the organic material contained in wastewater. It is simply an indicator of the organic strength of wastewater. As the strength of wastewater increases, greater amounts of energy are required to clean the wastewater while increasing the costs as well.
