Figure 2-1. Water Use and Effluent Discharge in Sugar Industries

The document discusses wastewater created in sugar refineries, which comes primarily from the mill house and process house and contains contaminants like oil, grease, suspended solids, and high organic matter. Studies found the effluent qualities and quantities differ between the mill house, process house, and final combined wastewater, and the quality varies according to factors like chemicals used and the sugarcane variety.

(Ingaramo et al., 2009)

The two primary portions of wastewater created in a sugar refinery are the mill
house and the process house. The mill house wastewater is primarily contaminated with oil and
grease, as well as suspended solids, whereas the process house wastewater is contaminated with
high organic matter such as COD, BOD5, and pH (Memon et al., 2006). Studies of the
physicochemical properties of the sugar industrial effluent collected and analyzed from the mill
house, process house, and final combined wastewater revealed that the effluent qualities and
quantities differ significantly. The quality of sugar industry effluent varies according to the
chemical kinds used, the character of the sugarcane, such as cane variety, and the nature
(physicochemical and biological) of the soil in which the
