Abstract

Industries provide necessary materials and employment opportunities. In the modern world, industries are an inseparable part of life. Without the enterprises one cannot expect life. While appreciating industrialization as a boon, it poses biggest threat to mankind as a source of air, water and land pollution. Indian political system has evolved to support great industrial growth but at the same time more attention should be paid to industrial waste management. Latest trend in the world of industrial water is to treat waste with more than one treatment process and it has been proven to be very effective in removal of colloidal and non-biodegradable pollutants. These integrated and optimized systems have added a lot to the performance of conventional or any individual treatment process. Combining two or more different treatment processes has opened a new field to investigate and attracted the researcher’s attention. This study is intended to review a popular low-cost treatment called moving bed biological reactor (MBBR). This technology was optimized by integrating other treatment methods, thus achieving the highest possible performance in treatment of heavily polluted wastewaters from various industries.
