“…As a result of the implementation of the EPSS, the violation rate of effluent water quality standards has significantly decreased from 52% to 4%, and the BOD concentration in effluent water has reduced from 35 mg/L to 6.3 mg/L (Figure 7) [46]. Therefore, the effectiveness of the system has been demonstrated.…”
