the quality of wastewater generated in any process industry is generally indicated by performance indices namely bod, cod and toc, expressed in mg/l. the use of toc as an analytica parameter has become more common in recent years especially for the treatment of industrial wastewater. in this study, several empirical relationships were established between bod and cod with toc using regression an...

Understanding the structure and dynamics of microbial communities, especially those of economic concern, is of paramount importance to maintaining healthy and efficient microbial communities at agricultural sites and large industrial cultures, including bioprocessors. Wastewater treatment plants are large bioprocessors which receive water from multiple sources, becoming reservoirs for the colle...

In this study, aerobic digestion of tannery industry wastewater was carried out using mixed culture obtained from common effluent treatment plant treating tannery wastewater. The effect of pH, temperature, inoculum concentration, agitation speed and initial substrate concentration on the reduction of organic matters were found. The optimum conditions for COD reduction was found to be pH 7 (60%)...

With the rapid expansion of cities due to population growth and urbanization, conventional centralized wastewater collection treatment systems are slowly becoming a burden; expensive maintenance is required for aging plants piping infrastructure, cost expanding capacity cover demand from growth, new regulations tighter control over certain pollutants such as micropollutants. As an alternative t...
