REVIEW ON PHYTROID SYSTEM COMPRISING OF MORINGA OLIEFERA (NATURAL COAGULANT) FOR THE TREATMENT OF WASTEWATER
Keywords:
-Abstract
The technology has been found to be very effective in water pollution control as it function as water „pollutant
sink‟ for sediment, nutrients, and metals. Conventional phytroid system consists of components such as Influent
collection tank, screen, phytroid bed and treated water storage tank. This work represents treatment of industrial
wastewater using phytroid bed which replaces screen with Moringa Oleifera known to be one of the best natural
coagulant thereby removing remove dangerous heavy metals from wastewater such as Pb, Zn, Ni, Cu, Cd etc.
The treated effluent is useful for municipal gardens, fountains, irrigation, in manufacturing process in industries
and when disposed in oceans, seas and rivers will be beneficial to aquatic life. water availability is bound to
decrease for agriculture.
