  • Various Conservation Schemes Well laid draining procedures. Closed sampling loops. Maximum recovery of Slop. Spent caustic reuse for alkalinity makeup. Maximum reuse of Stripped Sour water. Reuse of treated effluent

    Cooling tower makeup. Irrigation. Oil well pressure boosting.

    Maximum condensate recovery. Metering of Utility water consumption.

    filter. Biological process vent air treated by scrubber. Biological treatment process implementation in two

    steps-Preaeration and Aeration. This leads to very stableoperation, very good microbiological health andsettleability with plenty of rotifers. Also excess sludgeproduction is minimum (about 100 gm /kg of COD input).

  • Further Challenges Disposal of Biological Sludge :

    Exploring better options than landfill e.g. Incinerate/use for bioremediation of contaminated soil/ soilreclamation etc.

    Off-spec waste management: Occasionally very strong COD/TKN/Sulfide bearing

    wastewater streams get generated (e.g. Chemicaldecontamination) or sometimes the abnormality (leaketc.) leading to off-spec wastewater productioncontinues for more than expected /design time.

    Online analyzers for Ammonia and Sulfide These analyzers based on Ion selective electrode

    method are not found reliable.
