With the industrial revolution, the increase in the use of fossil fuels and natural resources brought environmental pollution. Organized industrial district (OID) began to be established rapidly in these processes to ensure sustainable production, shorten supply chains, support regional development, and gather industrialists in a common organization to minimize the environmental impact of production. In OIDs, common wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are used to treat industrial wastewater generated because of production processes and domestic wastewater generated because of employee activities. In this study, an advanced biological WWTP that treated the wastewater of a mixed OID located in Bursa, the fourth largest city of Turkey, was examined. The effect of the capacity increase in the plant (approximately 17% increase in the amount of wastewater) on the removal efficiency of pollutant parameters, the amount of energy consumed, and chemical consumption was investigated. In this context, the changes in total nitrogen (TN), total phosphorus (TP), chemical oxygen demand (COD), and total chromium 6 (Cr+6), iron (Fe), and copper (Cu) parameters of wastewater and the changes in electricity consumption changes and chemical consumption were examined over a two-year period. Additionally, it was evaluated statistically whether there was a difference in removal efficiency with capacity increase.
