Treatment of Sugar Industry Wastewater by Sequential Batch Reactor

Due to global civilization and industrialization, there is a great demand for the water. A small fraction of the same is utilized and rest is being generated as wastewater. The disposal of such wastewater into water courses creates an adverse impact on the human health, flora and fauna. With the introduction of precise effluent standards it is the responsibility of wastewater engineer to treat the wastewater to satisfy the requirements of receiving body. Hence the safe disposal of such wastewater either on land or water bodies is the most challenging task before the engineers. This project is study to show the general wastewater characteristics collected from the Sugar Industry and also to treat by Sequential Batch Reactor, This SBR process involves tank in which aeration as well as settlement can be carried in a batch basin. Result showed removal efficiency for Sequential Batch Reactor for Chemical Oxygen Demand and Biochemical Oxygen Demand was efficient for treating waste at variation of concentration and time variation. It is also seen that the other parameters after treatment are within desirable limits of effluent standards as per CPCB, New Delhi.
