Pulp and paper industry is facing a major problem on account of increasing scarcity of water and stringent discharge norms introduced by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in the form of CREP (Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection).

Irrigated with industrial effluents the global demand for meat and dairy products is estimated to grow to 283 million tonnes by 2010, up by 27 per cent from 2000.

The survey revealed the fact that in India, alum is used for the improvement of effluent quality but the work on alum recovery and reuse is fragmentary. Therefore this work emphasized on recovery of alum from sludge and its reuse for waste water treatment. Various methods have been reported for treatment and disposal of alum sludge.
The objective of this study is to find out the optimum OLR at which the UASB reactor can be operated in treating domestic sewage and sugar mill effluent, in conjunction at a predetermined optimum mixing ratio of 75:25.
