Abstract:
The analysis and treatment of industrial wastewater is integral part of water recycling and reusing. The study shows assessment of wastewater treatment facility in Hayatabad Industrial Estate, Peshawar, Pakistan. The facility is established on the main drain of the industrial estate to overcome the pollution load. The wastewater samples were taken from inlet and outlet of the facility. The study revealed that performance of the facility is poor with respect to reduction in biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS) and total dissolved solids (TDS). The performance efficiency of TDS, TSS, BOD, COD, was 0.12%, 0.34%, 1.69%, and 0.44% respectively. The efficiency was in order of BOD>COD>TSS>TDS. It was found that the wastewater is polluted and the facility has least control on pollution reduction. The values were compared with NEQs, which concluded that the treatment facility is unable to reduce contaminant load. As the treatment facility undertakes only physical treatment; further study is recommended to upgrade its feasibility for the prescribed industrial effluents.
