Abstract
Industrial Effluents are a major challenge to be treated and disposed of without contamination of water and soil. Soft drinks Industrial effluents are having alcoholic compounds which are toxic to aquatic life as well as the environment. In the past, the increasing demands for energy and impending climate change have driven the search for renewable energy sources. Diminishing supplies of fossil fuels and production of pollution are the major challenges with the continued usage of fossil fuels. This paper aimed to give an account of biogas production from beverage industrial effluents as well as effluent treatment for environment safety. Besides, the study helped to compare the capacity of mixed substrates and pure beverage industrial effluents to release methane gas. The anaerobic digestion removed 68.95%, 65.30% and 71.74% of BOD5, TS and VS, respectively from beverage industrial effluents. Mixed substrates comparatively produced more methane than beverage industrial effluents. Beverage industrial effluent released 323.5 ml of bio-methane with cumulative CH4yield of 76.15 ml per gram of VS which was added into the reactor per working volume of 1.8 L. Soft drink industry can establish a biogas plant to fulfil the energy needs of the industry.
