A small industrial effluent treatment plant has been designed and installed for the treatment of wastewater from a potato chips and snacks factory. The total daily flow rate to the plant was 115 m3/d, while the influent COD mass flux was 838.7 kg/d and the BOD mass flux was 626.7 kg/d. The applied method of treatment is a simple upflow anaerobic reactor with internal settling and gas collection units, followed by aerobic treatment based on the activated sludge process with diffused air system. The quality of the treated water is better than requested and the overall treatment process efficiencies are 99.2% for COD removal and 99.5% for BOD5 removal. The results of the operation of the plant during the first five months are examined and described in this paper.

Industry Wastewater

Soft drinks industry wastewater from various production lines is discharged into the Industrial Effluent Treatment Plant. The traditional coagulation/flocculation method as first step, followed by biological treatment as second step, has been adopted for treating the soft drinks industry wastewaters. The performance of the plant has been evaluated. It has been found that the effluent characteristics are in most cases in correspondence with the requested standards for discharging the effluent into the Nicosia central sewerage system.

ABSTRACT A mixed culture utilizing EDTA as the sole carbon source was isolated from a mixed inoculum of water from the River Mersey (United Kingdom) and sludge from an industrial effluent treatment plant. Fourteen component organisms were isolated from the culture, including representatives of the genera Methylobacterium,Variovorax, Enterobacter,Aureobacterium, and Bacillus. The mixed culture biodegraded metal-EDTA complexes slowly; the biodegradability was in the order Fe>Cu>Co>Ni>Cd. By incorporation of inorganic phosphate into the medium as a precipitant ligand, heavy metals were removed in parallel to EDTA degradation. The mixed culture also utilized a number of possible EDTA degradation intermediates as carbon sources.

Correct Application

In response to more severe pollution control regulations and from a desire to reduce pollution levels, oil industry installations are having to re-examine their effluent treatment facilities. Options for upgrading the quality of effluent discharged include: improvements in water management to decrease volumes of effluent produced in processes; modifications to existing effluent treatment plant both in performance and operating procedures by the installation of new components or the replacement of individual units; and the installation of completely new effluent treatment facilities using the latest technology. In most existing plants considerable increases in efficiency can be brought about at relatively low cost by the correct application of a range of options. Where new installations are being constructed valuable lessons may be learned by examining the problems that are occurring in plants already in operation. Improvements may thus be made on existing designs.

Textile industries are the major contributor to environmental pollution and health hazards by generating huge amount of effluents that contain several pollutants and coloring agents. The concentration of these pollutants can be reduced to the permissible limit with the help of an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP). The study was conducted to observe the textile effluent management techniques of an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) of Fakir Knitwear Limited (FKL), Narayanganj, Bangladesh. FKL set up a biological treatment plant to treat the effluent generated by the industry. Different effluent quality parameters were investigated at different stages in ETP. The effluent of the outlet was dark colored probably because of soluble coloring materials of the effluent but it is comparatively better than that of raw wastewater. There were found higher EC values than the standards which indicated that the greater amount of salts in the water due to dumping of solid wastes and discharging of industrial effluents. The highest TDS value 2054 ppm was observed at the screening pit unit than the other parts of the ETP. The highest DO was found 4.58 ppm in clarification tank which was within the standard value of aquaculture. The study also showed that the lowest BOD (24 ppm) and COD (145 ppm) was found at the outlet which was comparatively better than others. Although the effluent from the outlet contained pollutants, these effluent quality was comparatively good than the untreated waste water discharged from the industry. After treatment, the effluent of outlet moderately ensures the standard quality for aquaculture and irrigation. The results suggested that it is obvious to run the ETP regularly to improve the quality of effluents to save our native environment from the harmful effects of wastewater.J. Environ.
