What is Solar Detoxification Of Distillery Waste ?
  • The dark, obnoxious smelling effluent from distilleries is largely polluting Indian countryside, which is also very high in COD & BOD. This effluent is stored in open lagoons & seeps through ground water supply, sometimes it is directly discharged in the rivers & irrigation canals.
  • With the increasing scarcity of fuel & ethanol being used as a substitute the problem of environmental pollution becomes worse as Ethanol produces about 15 times its weight distillery waste.
  • Solar Detoxification of Distillery Waste is a successful technology for the treatment of this effluent by solar energy.
Method

Diluted raw effluent when mixed with suitable chemical & exposed to sunlight becomes completely odorless & colorless, also COD content is drastically reduced.
