“…It is relevant as developing countries like Africa and India have planned a phase-out of lead-added gasoline in the near future (Thomas and Kwong, 2001;Kadam, 2002;Prakash et al, 1998). In India, there are initiatives in nine states for a 5% ethanol blend with gasoline and to raise it to 10% in near future (Subramanian et al, 2005).…”

Wastewater from sugar industries is one that has complex characteristics and is considered a challenge for environmental engineers in terms of treatment as well as utilization. Before treatment and recycling, determination of physicochemical parameter is an important mechanism. Many different types of techniques are introduced and modified for the purpose, but depend upon the water quality parameters. The main aim of this study is to determine the physicochemical characteristics of sugar industry waste water by the standard method and minimize the fresh water consumption in sugar industry by water pinch methodology.

“…The solid fraction is usually used for solid fuel production. The liquid fraction is either fed to an anaerobic digestion process, generating biogas with a methane concentration of about 60% (Prakash et al, 1998) or is used for solid fuel production together with the solid fraction after evaporation of most of the water. In this case the concentrated liquid fraction is mixed with the solid fraction before drying and pelletizing.…”
