Use of Bio-Filter for the Treatment of Municipal Waste Water

One of the major sources, which pollutes the environment is the wastewater produced from the human activity. At present, in order to decrease waste hazards and to restrict the effects on the environment, investigators studying the possibility of using new methods and materials to treat wastewater. The prime concern of the environmental engineers is to lower the coagulants cost and to improve the characteristics of the produced purification. A municipal sewage treatment plant include primary treatment to remove solid material, secondary treatment to digest dissolve and suspended organic material .This present work illustrating the role of Bio-Filter media which includes coconut coir, maize and sugarcane to assist the treatment of municipal waste water and to study their physico-chemical characteristics. The prevailing purification technologies used to remove the contaminants are too costly and sometimes non-eco-friendly also. Therefore the work is oriented towards low cost and eco-friendly technology for waste water purification, which will be beneficial for community. The project work discuss the purification of waste water process by using various locally available natural material like coconut coir, maize and sugarcane to reduce Total Solids, pH, Turbidity, DO, Chloride, Hardness, Alkalinity etc. in purifying municipal waste water.
