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 />
