India’s 671 sugar industries comprise a major industrial sector in the country, with reported production of 246.31 lakh tonnes as compared to 217.32 lakh tonnes during the corresponding period of the previous year, according to data released by the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA). Increasing population combined with growing demand of sugar has led to increasing waste generation and environmental pollution. High water consumption and poorly treated wastewater with high level of organic pollution caused by poor design, operation and treatment systems create major environmental problems when discharged to surface water or land.
Main units of a sugar industry are mill house, process house and boiler house. These units are water intensive and discharge high strength low pH waste water contains high BOD, COD and dissolved solids. The main focus of present study is to identify and suggest pollution prevention measures through reducing the use of freshwater, wastewater generated, identifying utilization possibilities for waste, reuse and recycling of wastewater, control air emission rate by improving fuel and controlling equipments. The present study has been carried out in a cane sugar based sugar industry located in Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh. The study involved collection of process flow sheet detail and material balance of various processes, characterization of various waste streams, performance evaluation of effluent treatment plant, collection of information related to current practices of operation and maintenance in the industry. The result indicates the need of improving effluent treatment plant performance through segregation of concentrated waste streams. Material flow analysis and waste audit indicated slightly higher use of water, lower sugar yield and need of segregation and separate treatment of low concentration waste stream, for recycle and reuse. Various pollution prevention measures have been identified and suggested for the present sugar industry.

To keep greenhouse gases at manageable level, it is essential to decrease the CO2 concentration in ambient air through capturing and separation. The three main CO2 capture technologies discussed include post-combustion, pre-combustion and oxy-fuel combustion. Other various separation techniques such as physical adsorption, chemical absorption, membrane conjunction and chemical looping combustion (CLC) are also thoroughly discussed. This paper describes the technology, current status of the development, bottlenecks towards implementation and potential use.

It assesses, in particular, both technical and environmental implications of a waste pre-sorting that may affect the treatment process. The scope of the study encompassed material segregation, digestion of kitchen waste, final disposal of waste. The study showed that material recycling leads to an improvement of the working conditions with respect to digestion. The study also demonstrated that digestion approach is a useful tool for the study of technical and environmental aspects of an energy system.
