Description
Summary:In present study a food industry effluent was studied to find out its pollutants concentrations and to suggest a modified anaerobic treatment method which has a low cost technology for treatment of effluent. The performance of this modified method was compared with conventional anaerobic treatment method. Various experiments have been performed to find out suitability of this modified technology which was named as Up flow anaerobic sludge filter reactor (UFASFR). It was found that removal efficiency of pollutants was higher with UFASFR as compared with Conventional anaerobic reactor (CAR). It was also envisaged that hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 12 hrs was best suited for the treatment of food industry effluent by UFASFR treatment method.
