Many plants have Vac trucks onsite that suck up spills and then bring those spills to the front of the wastewater treatment plant and download the contents into the head of the wastewater treatment plant. Some plants, especially municipalities take septic sewage from tankers and haulers, from landfills, from small septic cleaners. There are sometimes issues with receiving these types of loads into the plant. Some of these issues are odors during transfer. High BOD, high TSS, toxicity, heavy metals, high ammonia levels that impact nitrification. All of these are critical issues to the successful operation of a wastewater treatment plant. There are options that can be done to pre-treat, or work with these haulers.
That sounds simple, what about BOD, toxicity and nitrification. Another simple thing that some of these tankers can do to lighten the load, whether BOD, toxicity or ammonia problems, is to add a small amount of bacteria to the tank. Throw in 1/2 to 1 lb of dry bacterial product into the tank and let the mixing due to the movement of the truck allow the bacteria to start degrading some of the organics in the truck. Think about it, some of the bacteria have a life span of 20 minutes to 2 hours. If a truck is hauling solids and sewage over an 8-10 hour day, they can get some pretty good BOD removal in that amount of time. It lowers the loading to the plant, probably significantly lowers the surcharges they occur and will make the load easier for the plant to handle. Again, a pretty good return on investment.

Tankers
and Haulers for Septic Systems and Collection Systems
One
of the biggest issues is septicity and odor control. Because they are
hauling solids and liquids for many hours, sometimes during the transfer phase,
the odors that are given off can cause problems. There are a few simple things
that can be done inside the truck to reduce these. Because usually the contents
contain wastewater solids and waste, there is high BOD in the water and there
are bacteria in the water. One simple thing that the haulers can do is to add a
small amount of sodium nitrate to the tank. This does two things- it chemically
prevents the formation of H2S and biologically provides the bacteria with
supplemental oxygen, thereby reducing odors. Sodium nitrate comes in dry pellet
forms, is a very cheap, commodity chemical, and probably only 1-2 lbs would be
required. 
If
there were residuals of sodium nitrate in the tank, it would not hurt a
wastewater treatment plant. Since most of the sewage is dumped prior to a
primary, if anything it will help your own primary, and keep if from going
septic. Most of the chemical would probably be consumed in the truck anyhow
prior to discharge. Simple solution for just pennies! The last we checked Liquid
sodium nitrate at 36% cost $0.26 / lb, and dry is even cheaper, so you can see,
that 1-2 dry lbs would be a relatively cheap solution for odor control!
