Comparative exploration of ETP water of pharmaceutical companies in Bangladesh

Abstract

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is most cost Effective & technically proven system to remove the unwanted, hazardous chemicals from the waste water to meet the statutory pollution control requirements, especially for chemicals, pharmaceuticals, phosphating and electroplating wastewaters. In the present study different types of parameters were tested of the ETP water along with the Turag River water. Turag river is situated in Tongi, a very place where different industrialization has situated surrounding the river. Garments factory, pharmaceutical company and other industries dispose their wastes and disposal into the river water. As water is the vital element in our daily living, so it became a major concern of this study. However, the data analysis among the ETP water and Turag river water will give some of the ideas about the pollutions of the river. In the study, it was tried to find a cheap source to modify water quality. Further investigation needs to be developed to determine the safety of ETP water, future of the Turag river water and to find out a better source for water purification.
