Abstract

Industrial waste water after primary and secondary treatment is disposed in CETPs. Most of the industries are
making their plant Zero discharge by tertiary treatment due to scarcity of water, its future impact and strict pollution
control norms. The report has been prepared for a pharmaceutical company waste water. The conventionally treated
wastewater is further treated for Total Suspended Solids (TSS) reduction prior to tertiary treatment like Reverse Osmosis.
Combination of various coagulants (Alum, PAC, FeCl3), coagulant aid (polyelectrolyte) and pretreatment (Lime,
Bentonite clay, activated carbon), ballasted flocculation (micro sand) was used to reduce TSS. This was done by regular
coagulation flocculation method at optimum pH. The most suitable method was adopted based on maximum TSS
reduction, cost comparison and feasibility of operation for treating 100 Kl/day of waste water.
