Role Of Interior Structure Of Agro And Non-Agro Materials For Industrial Wastewater Treatment

TLDR: In this paper, the effect of interior structure of agro and non-agro materials for industrial wastewater treatment in the effluents quality occurring before and after Industrial wastewater treatment as a filter media was investigated.

Abstract: 3 Abstract: This investigation aims at studying the effect of interior structure of agro and non-agro materials for industrial wastewater treatment in the effluents quality occurring before and after industrial wastewater treatment as a filter media. Removing of oil and grease and wastewater impurities are the main target of this experimental work to reuse the effluent for irrigation purpose. In this study different fibers such as rice straw, luffa, sawdust, palm hemp, mixture of rice straw and luffa, LECA and clay were used in trickling filter systems as a filter media. The overall objective of this study is the evaluation of the capability of tested agro and non-agro filters in decreasing wastewater impurities. The results shows that the highest reduction in BOD (95.33%), COD(89.79%), TSS (96.6%), TDS (98.1%) and Oil/grease (99%) were recorded using the mixture of rice straw & luffa beds. The BOD, COD, TSS, TDS and oil/grease in the final effluent were 21, 84.8, 17, 0.15 and 0.31 mg/l respectively. Also the conductivity of the effluent decreased during stages of the treatment.
