The liquid effluent treated from agro oil industry has an alkaline pH and lower level of dissolved oxygen (DO), which affects the aerobic respiration of organisms, and hence, not suitable for aquaculture application. Higher values of residual sodium carbonate (RSC), electrical conductivity, sulphate and total dissolved solids also suggest that the liquid effluent after treatment is also not suitable for irrigation purposes.

Abstract


The liquid effluent treated from agro oil industry has an alkaline pH and lower level of dissolved oxygen (DO), which affects the aerobic respiration of organisms, and hence, not suitable for aquaculture application. Higher values of residual sodium carbonate (RSC), electrical conductivity, sulphate and total dissolved solids also suggest that the liquid effluent after treatment is also not suitable for irrigation purposes.
