Bioremediation Concepts for Treatment of Distillery Effluent

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biotechnology for Environmental Management and Resource Recovery

Abstract

Distillery spent wash from alcohol manufacturing units such as breweries is highly polluted with organic components and is amongst the most polluting agroindustrial waste. Despite stringent standards imposed on effluent quality, untreated or partially treated effluents very often find access to watercourses. The distillery wastewater poses a serious threat to water quality in several regions around the globe. Lowering of pH values of the stream, increasing organic load, depletion of dissolved oxygen content, destruction of aquatic life and odour are some of the major pollution problems due to distillery wastewaters. Increasing number of biological clean-up technologies is being described, and novel bioremediation approaches for treatment of distillery spent wash are being worked out. Potential microbial processes (anaerobic and aerobic) for developing feasible remediation technologies to combat environmental pollution due to distillery spent wash are in progress.
