Abstract:
Anaerobic treatment of high strength industrial wastewater is a well established industry in the developed world.
Along with the treatment of wastewater requiring no aeration and thus being highly energy efficient the byproducts
of anaerobic treatment hydrogen and methane gases are sources of clean renewable energy. This paper evaluates
the potential of biogas generation in the Bangladesh Military Savar dairy milk processing facility by detailed
characterization of the wastewater discharge flow pattern and characterization of the wastewater. A theoretical
methane generation evaluation was conducted based on the wastewater flow and waste characterization. This was
then related to the potential high value generation in terms of electricity production to show the potential of
anaerobic agro based industry wastewater treatment with simultaneous generation of renewable energy.
