ABSTRACT
Background: Sugar cane waste water can be treated by using micro-organism such as pseudomonas putida. The colonization of this microbe will remove Nitrogen, Phosphorus, organic and inorganic waste and other impurities present in the wastewater and ultimately converts into ring water.
Aims: To summarize and discuss the available information about the sugarcane waste water and treatment of contaminated waste waters by adopting microorganisms for making it free as utility water.
Objectives: To analyze and study the behavior and quantity of the sugarcane waste water, to convert sugarcane waste water into ring water using Pseudomonas putida.
Method: An observational study was conducted where the physical, chemical and biological parameters before and after treatment with Pseudomonas putida was measured. The parameters namely pH, Electrical conductivity(EC), Total dissolved solids(TDS), Total hardness, Turbidity, Chemical Oxygen Demand ( COD), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Temperature were compared for sugar cane waste water and obtained ring water.
Results: There was a significant notable difference in the parameters pH, Electrical conductivity (EC) and Total dissolved solids(TDS) between both waters. Total hardnessTurbidity, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) had decreased and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and temperature were raised when compared for sugar cane waste water and obtained ring water.
Conclusion: The pseudomonas putida bacterium is environmental friendly method of recycling sugarcane waste water to reusable ring water. The physical, chemical and biological parameters are lowered as per the standard tests after treatment of waste water with this bacterium. This method can be simply adopted for large scale recycling process with minimal costs.
