Biodegradation offers an eco-friendly option for disposal of waste coming from different breweries and wineries. A model-based analysis through rigorous experimentation has been accomplished to study different aspects of the biodegradation of distillery wastes. Using distillery waste as resource material, energy is derived in the form of biogas containing high percentage of methane which is pro...

The study has been focused on effect of untreated distillery effluent (Devans Breweries Ltd., Jammu) on germination of gobi sarson (Brassica napus. L. var. Punjabi Special). Six treatments (E0.... E100) each having three replicates were made. E0 was taken as control in which tap water was used for irrigation of the plants. For E20, E40, E60, E80 and E100, different concentrations i.e. 20, 40, 6...

Quantitative cultural data on bacterial contamination in a distillery are difficult to obtain because ordinary methods will not distinguish between yeast and bacteria. Direct counts are unreliable because of the large number of grain particles which are difficult to distinguish from bacteria. This investigation was begun, therefore, in order to find a reliable cultural method for counting bacte...

Treated distillery effluent (TDE) generated through biomethanated distillery effluent was applied to arable land for augmenting agricultural production. The TDE contains considerable amount of organic matter and salt besides its high plant nutrients content. With this background, an attempt was made. Field experiments were conducted to study the long term effect of TDE and inorganic fertilizers...

Wastewater from bioethanol plants is classified as highly concentrated in terms of organic pollution precisely due to distillery stillage. The main problem the disposal stillage processing liquid phase, volume which up 92% all wastewater a plant. existing treatment technologies plant can be conditionally divided into four types: evaporation, aerobic biological with fodder yeast production, anae...

The conventional treatment of distillery effluent including to secondary biologically treatment leaves excessive residue for disposal in surface water and onto the land. Optimal sub-surface loading of Phragmites karka tolerate distillery waste and achieve sustainable zero discharge. Pilot investigations established that subsurface loading into soil matrix (three part river sand, one part pebble...

irrigation with distillery effluent, besides influencing crop yield, may have considerable impact on physical properties of soil because of its high salt and organic carbon contents. this experimental study was conducted to evaluate the effect of distillery effluent on hydraulic conductivity of a sandy loam alluvial soil and compare the effect of inorganic salts of potassium (k) with that of di...

Valorisation of organic wastes in renewable energy production has attracted a global attention order to achieve sustainable industrial growth. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is considered be one the most environmentally friendly waste management technology and also fulfils necessity fuel generation. It much less demand than other technologies like gasification or pyrolysis due its low operation tempe...
