Waste-water Treatment in a Passively Aerated Vertical Bed Panwar Surendra

Waste-water treatment is an important issue in the present day because of the strong nexus between water and fuel. It becomes more complicated with the depleting fossil fuel resource. Hence the waste-water treatment technology need to made more fuel efficient and attractive to the industries. Treating industrial waste-water by employing microalage seems to be a feasible option more so when it exhibits the potential of generating energy.energy. Micro-algae based waste-water treatment can be accomplished in a photobioreactor or/and passively aerated vertical bed. This work explores the feasibility of treating industrial waste water by employing microalage in a passively aerated vertical bed. The growth kinetics of micro-algal species under various conditions are investigated and the passively aerated vertical bed seems to be an very attractive option for treating waste-water with a recourse to generating non-renewable energy.
