Treatment of Rubber Industry Wastewater Using Anaerobic Digester

Abstract

Rubber industry is one of the key sectors of the Indian economy. India is the fourth largest producer of natural rubber and the third largest consumer of the polymer. As far as consumption of natural and synthetic rubber together is concerned, the country occupies the fourth position. Although, rubber product manufacture started in India, in the year 1920.In this project work were to examine the efficiency of anaerobic digester process to treat the rubber industry wastewater and to production/generation of methane or bio-gas removal of total solids (TS) and B.O.D (biochemical oxygen demand) from this system. Biogas originates from bacteria in the process of biological breakdown of organic material under anaerobic conditions. Wastewater from rubber industry contains pH 8.5.therefore this wastewater pH must be adjusted 7.0-8.0. Digester was setup (the system consisted of one digester, add cow dung slurry of capacity 5 liters with adding and removing 1000mL of rubber industry wastewater) in a laboratory from first week to fifth week, After feed with wastewater at a pH of 7 to 8 up to fifteenth week. The result of this system removal efficiency of T.S, D.S, F.S, V.S, B.O.D, C.O.D, SO4, NO3 77.98%, 51.75%, 52.00%, 80.76%, 65.98%, 72.96%, 60.79%, 68.79.total bio-gas generation from total solids removal is 8.56mL/gm and total bio-gas production from total B.O.D removal is 81.25mL/gm.
