Water Pollution & Treatment (Sugar Industries)


Book Description

The problem of Water Pollution and scarcity of clean water is increasing day by day in India, which is due to so many reasons like fast and unplanned urbanization, non vailability of treatment technologies as well as lack of attention and skill in the field of pollution and pollution control systems. Keeping the environment clean and safe is not a duty of any individual but it is the duty of all. Environment can be kept safe with the joint efforts of all who are living on the earth and every human has to contribute in this with their capacity either by their act for the prevention or by their skill for the corrective actions. Since I am in the field of Effluent Treatment and worked with so many treatment systems, therefore, I felt it as my duty to share my knowledge among the Environment Technical and to inspire the professionals of Sugar Industries to put attention towards the treatment of the effluent and water conservation. I am thankful to my colleague Mr. Manoj Kr. Mishra who has helped a lot in compilation of the relevant matters in this Book. I am also thankful to our colleague Ms. Lucky Jain who has helped in typing of this Book. This book is being written in keeping view of the Effluent Treatment of cane based Sugar Industries this book comprises with the technologies available for the treatment of the cane sugar Manufacturing Industries. Besides this book also covers the way of selection of suitable technologies and the procedure for their operation and maintenance with the procedures how to measures the performance of the Effluent treatment system. We have tried to precise the material of the Book. Only essential, relevant and compulsory contents are taken care. I hope this Book will be helpful not only to the professionals who are working in Effluent Treatment and Environment but others who are working with the other department like Production and Engineering will also get benefited with this Book.

Advances in Biological Treatment of Industrial Waste Water and their Recycling for a Sustainable Future


Book Description

With rampant industrialization, the management of waste generated by various industries is becoming a mammoth problem. Wastewater discharges from industrial and commercial sources may contain pollutants at levels that could affect the quality of receiving waters or interfere with potable water supplies. Thousands of small and large-scale industrial units dump their waste, which is often toxic and hazardous, in open spaces and nearby water sources. Over the last three decades, many cases of serious and permanent damage to the environment and human health on the part of these industries have come to the fore. This book mainly focuses on the biological treatment of wastewater from various industries, and provides detailed information on the sources and characteristics of this wastewater, followed by descriptions of the biological methods used to treat them. Individual chapters address the treatment of wastewater from pulp and paper mills; tanneries; distilleries, sugar mills; the dairy industry; wine industry; textile industry; pharmaceutical industry; food processing industry; oil refinery/petroleum industry; fertilizer industry and beverage/ soft drink bottling industry; and include the characteristics of wastewater, evaluation of biological treatment methods, and recycling of wastewater. Easy to follow, with simple explanations and a good framework for understanding the complex nature of biological wastewater treatment processes, the book will be instrumental to quickly understanding various aspects of the biological treatment of industrial wastewater. It will serve as a valuable reference book for scientists, researchers, educators, and engineers alike.




Studies in Characterization & Treatments of Sugar Industry Waste Water


Book Description

Sugar Industries operate on seasonal basis viz. November to April in India depending on the cane sugar production. Use of clean water in sugar industry is mainly in following manufacturing processes viz., 1. Spraying on sugar cane during crushing. 2. Gland cooling and floor washing in the mill house. 3. Filter cloth washings. 4. Evaporation and cleaning of other equipments. 5. Condensing the vapor in evaporators and vacuum pan boiling. 6. Floor washing in evaporators. 7. Boiler plants. These same operations generates equal amount of waste water they used. The nature of impurities present in polluted water can be determined by physico-chemical analysis during my studies. The objective of this study is-1.To determine various physico-chemical characteristics of the combined waste water. 2.To understand and evaluate the effect of adsorbents and coagulants 3.To study the influence of adsorbent dosage on various parameters of waste water. 4.To understand the mechanism of adsorption of various pollutants. 5.To suggest appropriate dosage, contact period and temperature when powdered charcoal is employed as an adsorbent.




Environmental Pollution By Sugar Industry Waste Water : A Case Study


Book Description

Water is considered as the most widely distributed natural resource on the surface. It is available to us in the form of oceans, rivers, lakes, syringes and streams, called surface, available water. Another important source which is not easily available but important is water occurring under the surface of the earth i.e. Groundwater. It serves as a reservoir due to large pore spaces in earth material, and translates the water over a long distance. During the translate it solublizes number of salts and minerals of the most rocks and regions and gain a tertian taste as well becomes potable. In most of the rural areas bore wells and wells are the seasonally source of potable water supplies. However in many parts of our state the available groundwater is not suitable for drinking as well as other purposes as irrigation etc due to industrialization in urban as well as rural area.




Sugar Water


Book Description

Hawaii's sugar industry enjoyed great success for most of the 20th century, and its influence was felt across a broad spectrum: economics, politics, the environment, and society. This success was made possible, in part, through the liberal use of Hawaii's natural resources. Chief among these was water, which was needed in enormous quantities to grow and process sugarcane. Between 1856 and 1920, sugar planters built miles of ditches, diverting water from almost every watershed in Hawaii. "Ditch" is a humble term for these great waterways. By 1920, ditches, tunnels, and flumes were diverting over 800 million gallons a day from streams and mountains to the canefields and their mills. Sugar Water chronicles the building of Hawaii's ditches, the men who conceived, engineered, and constructed them, and the sugar plantations and water companies that ran them. It explains how traditional Hawaiian water rights and practices were affected by Western ways and how sugar economics transformed Hawaii from an insular, agrarian, and debt-ridden society into one of the most cosmopolitan and prosperous in the Pacific.







Microbial Ecology of Wastewater Treatment Plants
