Abstract |
|
India has huge development in pharmaceutical industry. The lots of MNCs are there, and the Vapi is one the pharmaceutical hub of Gujarat. Anaerobic technology is an advance and it has lots of benefits the UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) technology is the one of them in attached growth system. Here the reactor was design of 1210 mm height, 152.4 mm diameter and sparkling system for inlet. The 5 sampling point are placed with 180 mm height difference the height of inlet tank is 1500 mm. At the top of reactor there is a gas valve and sludge drain at the bottom. Here also microbial examination was done using anaerobic jar and gram staining. With the successful start-up using waste of Megafine Pharmaceutical’s wastewater the result are taken in COD, BOD, TSS, VSS, and alkalinity. The COD was maximum 71% and in the range of 6% to 71% and BOD is also as same TSS and VSS are in the range of 300 to 12000 it is increase due to microbial activity. The reaction is acidic so, that the pH is decreasing and alkalinity is decreasing these are in the range of 7.9 to 6.8 and 35000 to 1000 mg/L. So it can be concluded that the reactor has efficiency of 70 %. |
