Foreword
Persuading
any industry- that discharges significant quantity of its trade
effluents to install an effluent treatment plant is a prime function
of Pollution Control Boards. When the persuation is succeeded and
the necessary effluent treatment plant is installed, it is only
beginn- ing of the enforcement process of industrial pollution control.
A part of the enforcement process is essentially compliance through
frequent evaluation of performance of the installed treatment plant
so as to check if the quality of treated wastewater conforms to
the prescribed consent limits for. various parameters.
The Central Board for the Prevention and Control of Water Poltution,
New Delhi, successfully directed MI s. Ganesh Flour Mills Delhi,
to install a wastewater treatment plant that was commissioned in
October 1982. Subsequently, the Central Board conducted a performance
study of the wastewater treatment plant. This report attempts to
evaluate the performance

of
the treatment plant by characterizing influent and effluent of the
treatment plant, in terms of parameters like COD, oil and grease and
suspended solids.
The necessary information and data were provided by M/s. Ganesh Flour
Mills and the same is duly appreciated.
This study was guided by Dr. R. H. Siddiqi, Consultant to the Central
Board. Collection and analyses of the wastewater samples were conducted
by Shri O.P. Singh and Shri Paritosh Kumar, Assistant Environmental
Engineers of the Central Board. First draft of the manu- script was
typed by Shri Meer Singh and final draft was composed on electronic
typewriter by Shri Jagdish Narula.
This report should remain useful both for Enforcement Inspectorate
of Pollution Control Boards and for the Industry Quality Assurance
Depart- ments. |
