Abstract
This paper discusses solid waste management and utilization process involving biochemical (aerobic as well as anaerobic) conversion of press or filter mud (a waste from sugar industry). Press mud was successfully composted using mixed liquid culture in a short span of 15 days. Different trials were conducted in which the C/N ratio was reduced from 40-50 to about 20-22.
