After analyzing the characteristic of raw<br />
waste water, the treatment system was so designed<br />
and layout of effluent treatment plant is shown<br />
below.<br />

The sample of treated effluent was collected<br />
from the outlet of Activated Carbon Filter to analyze<br />
the characteristics of treated effluent. The tests are<br />
carried out and the results are given in Table 2.<br />

CONCLUSION<br />
Comparing the actual results of treated<br />
effluent with Tamilnadu Pollution Control Board<br />
Standards, the treated effluent is meeting the<br />
standards of TNPCB and hence it is not harmful to<br />
the environment. The treated water can be used for<br />
gardening purpose and this will save the ground<br />
water from depletion and thus resulting effective<br />
usage of waste water.<br />
As water demands and environmental needs<br />
grow, water recycling play a greater role in our<br />
overall water supply. Water recycling has proven to<br />
be effective and successful in creating a new and<br />
reliable water supply. By working together to<br />
overcome obstacles, water recycling along with<br />
water conservation, can help us to conserve and<br />
sustainably manage our vital water resources<br />
