Brief Description (Abstract):

Wastewater treatment (WWT) system adopted at Indian Antarctic Station ?Maitri? for treating kitchen, urinal and bathroom wastewater was studied during the 20th Antarctica expedition. Two numbers of WWT system working on rotating biological contactor principle treats kitchen wastewater and urinal/bathroom wastewater separately. The average chemical oxygen demand (COD) of urinal/bathroom wastewater at the inlet to WWT was found to be 281 mg/1 and at the outlet it was 160 mg/1. The average COD of kitchen wastewater laden with vegetable oil at the inlet of WWT was found to be about 6626 mg/1 and at the outlet of WWT, 3607 mg/1. Observations reveal that the WWT units were never seeded with biological culture and therefore the treatment was not effective. The rotating disc in the bioreactor was stopped to make the system as a settling chamber and COD of the in fluent and effluent were determined.

Status: Completed

Purpose: Analysis of existing wastewater treatment scheme and wastewater characteristics that is generated at Maitri station is presented with the intention of providing data for wastewater system design in the future.
