AN AEROBIC TREATMENT FOR DUDH SAGAR DAIRY, MAHESANA

Abstract

The present study has been undertaken to evaluate the performance efficiency of the ABR (anaerobic baffled reactor) in treating effluent of dairy industries under anaerobic condition. The laboratory model of ABR of 12 liters capacity was fabricated by acrylic sheet material provided with gas space partition, was used to study the anaerobic treat-ability of dairy effluent. The raw dairy effluent with different organic loading rate was fed into the ABR and the effluent was analyzed for COD removal and biogas production. The maximum COD removal of 91% along with 0.82 L/d biogas was observed during the experiment.
