Abstract
The monitoring and performance evaluation studies were carried out for an effluent treatment plant of a beverage/soft drink industry located in western U.P. to verify the environmental effects. The influent and effluent samples were collected at regular intervals and were analyzed for the determination of the physical, chemical, organic and biological pollution. The plant is quite efficient in treating the wastewater of the distillery plant obtaining an average reduction of 90.2% in BOD, 90.6% in COD, 11.1% in TDS, 84.6% in TSS, 83.3% in O and G respectively. The generated data presented the evidence that the plant is working with the norms specified by the pollution control board.
