Comparative Study of Distillery Effluents in and Around Distilleries

Ms Ashwini P S, Ms Sahana C K

Abstract


Due to large industrial growth the local environment will have the adverse effect if attention is not paid. Distillery waste water is one of the major environmental pollution, when discharge into water bodies without a treatment will effect on soil, water, air, health of animals and humans. Such water have dissolved impurities like sulphate, Magnesium, Iron, Sodium & Potassium and colloidal impurities like colouring matter, organic waste. In our study we have compared the Gemini distillery where the problem of ground water pollution has occurred with the Bangalore distillery and ground water condition within 1km radius around it. It has found that the TDS content in the effluents is more. Hence, we suggest Deionization
process for the control of TDS and prevent such problems.
