Environmental Engineering - TECHNOLOGIES IN WASTEWATER TREATMENT - AEROBIC TREATMENT OF INDUSTRIAL EFFLUENTS - The problem of water pollution due to industrial waste is attaining greater importance day by day. Distillery, sugar and dairy industries are the fast growing agro-based industries with high organic and inorganic contents which are high strength wastes and difficult to dispose or reuse. Due to the recent advancements in biotechnology, aerobic reactor is widely used as a tertiary treatment for the treatment of high strength industry wastewater. - FEATURES - 1. Physico-chemical analysis of distillery, sugar mill and dairy effluents and its pollution impacts. 2. Isolation of microorganism present in the sewage sludge, which is used as a seed culture in the Aerobic Reactor. 3. Experimentation in the continuous degradation of distillery, sugar mill and dairy effluents using an Aerobic Reactor under different experimental conditions. 4. Kinetic modeling of continuous degradation of distillery, sugar mill and dairy effluents.
