Study for Industrail Effluent in Aerobic Environment by using BODSEED and Activated
Sludge |
Foreword
The
need for appropriate technologies for treatment or effluents can hardly be overemphasized.
The quality and quantity of effluent play an important role in maintaining the
stability of the surrounding environment. The biodegradation of organic compounds
often fluctuates due to several factors involved in a process.
In order
to estimate comparative efficiency of biodegradation of various industrial effluents,
it is imperative to have a uniform seed material for better assessment. A special
lyophilized mixed microbial culture called "BODSEED" has been jointly
developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Delhi and the Centre
for Biochemical Technology (CBT), CSIR, Delhi. |

The present report contains
the findings of the laboratory investigations to explore the possibilities of
using BODSEED to treat and categorize various types of effluents. We hope, the
information contained in this report will be useful to the regulatory bodies and
professionals working in this field.
