Rajani Bharati, Alka Shrivastava and J.K. Shrivastava

Abstract

The present paper presents results of the study in removal of COD, TSS from domestic sewage water using SBT by uncultured media .Results indicate that % removal COD for four run at different flow rate are 50 % for R1 at flow rate 80 ml/min, 42.3 % for R2 at flow rate 40 ml/min, 46.4 % for R3 at flow rate 35 ml/min, 40 % for R4 at flow rate 30 ml/min. % removal TSS for four run at different flow rate are 60.6 % for R1 at flow rate 80 ml/min , 50 % for R2 at flow rate 40 ml/min , 58.4 % for R3 at flow rate 35 ml/min , 46.6 % for R4 at flow rate 30 ml/min . For 1.03 m deep and 0.2 m diameter bed of bioreactor. Soil biotechnology (SBT) is a system for water renovation which makes use of a formulated media. The process give advantage in terms of applicability for very small to large scale , natural aeration , no moving parts except pumps , no sludge , no odor and all green environment , no pretreatment , high removal efficiency , very low energy requirement.
