PERFORMANCE EVALUATION & STRATEGIC ANALYSIS OF WATER QUALITY FOR WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT : A SUSTAINABLE STUDY OF CADBURY GWALIOR

Abstract

The chocolate company is one of the most polluting food companies regarding its large water consumption. Due to the increased demand of chocolate, the chocolate companies in India are expected to grow rapidly and have waste generation & some relevant environmental problems are also assumed increased. Improper treated wastewater with the very increased level of pollutants can be caused by some improper design, process and operation or treatment systems create main environmental hurdles when these are discharged to the surface land or water. Considering the above included implications a good try has been done in this project to evaluate one of the Effluent Treatment Plant for chocolate wastes. The samples are collected from the various points to evaluate the performance of Waste Water Treatment Plant. Main parameters analysed for evaluation of performance of Effluent Treatment Plant are pH, TDS, TSS, Chloride, Oil & Grease, COD, and BOD. The pH, TDS, TSS, Chloride, Oil & Grease, COD and BOD removal efficiency of Effluent Treatment Plant were 33.47 %, 33.88 %, 90.09 %, 70.37 %, 97.39 %, 97.28% and 99.23% respectively.
