Most of distilleries in India use biomethanation process to treat the spent wash generated during the alcohol process, to ensure the effective treatment all distillery industries follow 13 fold dilutions due to which tremendous amount of spent wash is generated. 8 -15 l of spent wash was generated during 1 l of alcohol, thus distillery industries consume more water and produce waste water on a ...

The health of a river depends on the quality of its water, which is influenced by the presence of pollutants. The quality of water is generally assessed by a range of parameters, which express physical, chemical and biological composition of water (Meybeck and Helmer 1992). This research deals with some specific water quality parameters of the Buriganga River, which include: temperature, pH, di...

enzymatic extract preparation from pseudomonas aeruginosa km110 under accession no. hq730879 with lipase activity (0.3 u/ml), was used to perform enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment of a synthetic dairy wastewater with 1000 mg/l total fat content. the pretreatment was optimized for 48 h hydrolysis time, at 45æ% c with 10% v/v enzymatic extract. the biological treatment of synthetic dairy wastewat...

the aim of this study was the increasing of leachate quality using integrated membrane bioreactor (mbr). the reactor was fed with treated leachate with overall 70-1360 mg/l chemical oxygen demand (cod). the analysis of cod, biochemical oxygen demand (bod5), total suspended solids (tss), and total dissolved solids (tds) were performed in feed and filtrate, whenever the system reached steady stat...

in this present study the dissolved air flotation (daf) system was investigated for the treatment of kermanshah oil refinery wastewater. the effect of three parameters on flotation efficiency including of flow rate (outflow from the flotation tank), saturation pressure and coagulant dosage on chemical oxygen demand (cod) removal was examined experimentally. all the experiments were done under a...

AIMS To assess the impact of winery wastewater (WW) on biological sand filter (BSF) bacterial community structures, and to evaluate whether BSFs can constitute alternative and valuable treatment- processes to remediate WW. METHODS AND RESULTS During 112 days, WW was used to contaminate a BSF mesocosm (length 173 cm/width 106 cm/depth 30 cm). The effect of WW on bacterial communities of four B...

Background: Qual2k is a stream water quality model and was used to evaluate the water quality of the Kine-Vars River and assess the response of the river to nutrient management strategies. Methods: For that purpose, 7 sample stations were selected and surface water samples were collected in the winter and summer of 2012 and were analyzed for temperature, dissolved oxygen, biological oxygen dem...

in recent decades, the developments of artificial intelligence to predict hydrologic models have been widely used. in this study, the ability of artificial neural network(ann) models for modeling and predict the biological oxygen demand (bod) is located on the karun river in west iran were evaluated. to improve the simulation results, wavelet analysis was used as a hybrid model. bod index month...

Wetlands are land areas that are wet during part or all of the year. Constructed wetlands are man-made systems that mimic the functions of natural wetlands applied for wastewater treatment. The aim of this research is to investigate the feasibility of using a constructed wetland for treatment of kitchen waste water from hostel mess. The wetland plant species grown in the constructed wetland is ...

Water is used for various human activities such as drinking, bathing, washing and recreation. The physicochemical as well as microbiological qualities of water samples collected over a period of ten months from five swimming pools in five randomly-selected hotels in Osogbo metropolis, Southwestern Nigeria were assessed. The collection of the fifty water samples spanned the dry and rainy seasons...
