Title: Treatment of Industrial Waste Water Using Bio-augmented Process

Statement of the Problem:

1. What are the quantity and composition of waste water produced by industrial plants
2. What are the advantages of this process to the other water treatment processes?
3. What are the environmental impacts of bio-augmented process?

Objectives:

1. Find out the advanced method for the treatment of waste water so that water after treatment
can be reused for various purposes in eco-friendly manner as well as it can able to restore
aquatic ecosystems.
2. Improve the efficiency of treatment plants to clean industrial wastewater
3. Long-term and sustainable solution to the growing scarcity of water worldwide is to recycle and
reuse wastewater.

Project Description:

A promising long-term and sustainable solution to the growing scarcity of water worldwide is to
recycle and reuse wastewater. In wastewater treatment plants, the biodegradation of contaminants or
pollutants by harnessing microorganisms present in activated sludge is one of the most important
strategies to remove organic contaminants from wastewater. However, this approach has limitations
because many pollutants are not efficiently eliminated. To counterbalance the limitations, bio
augmentation has been developed and consists of adding specific and efficient pollutant-biodegrading
microorganisms into a microbial community in an effort to enhance the ability of this microbial
community to biodegrade contaminants.

Significant of the Study:

1. The implementation of low cost sewage treatment that will time permit selective reuse of
treated effluents for agricultural and industrial purpose.
2. The recovery of nutrient and water resources for reuse in agricultural production and to reduce
the overall user-demand for water resources.
