AI-Enhanced Experimental Analysis on Dairy Wastewater Treatment Using Rotatory Biological Contactor

One of the largest sectors in India, after the sugar business, is the dairy industry. This industry is a major contributor to the rural Indian economy. The presence of protein and lipids in this effluent contributes to its turbidity and color since they are organic and sustainable. While irrigation is a frequent discharge option for cleaned dairy effluent, tertiary treatment must be included as well. One biological technique that can be used to treat wastewater is the Rotary Biological Contractor (RBC). Wastewater treatment using RBC is an affordable, eco-friendly, and energy-efficient method. The current work emphasized the main parameter on the properties of the influent and effluent wastewater are examined, as well as the RBC's performance, which is dependent on the rpm and detention duration. The water sample taken for this investigation comes from dairy farms. An apparatus for testing of waste water, design the assembly of the Rotary Biological Contractor. The RBC is comprised of a horizontal shaft that runs through the centers of the revolving drums. The complete assembly is inserted into the tank so that the drum is about 40% submerged in water, with the shaft just above the liquid's surface. Stainless steel scratches the surface of the drum, allowing microorganisms to thrive. By means of this assembly, the revolving drum is in touch with liquid, facilitating the breakdown of organic waste. The model ran for ninety hours at a rotating speed of five revolutions per minute. The results show that this process has high BOD removal rate, high cod removal rate with less detention time and it also reduce odor problem.
