Tannery Effluent Treatment Guide

This document discusses various treatment methods for tannery effluents, including primary and physical-chemical treatments that can be done within the tannery compound before discharge. It describes screening, grit removal, lifting pumps, equalization tanks, pH adjustment, coagulation, flocculation, clarification and dissolved air flotation as key primary treatment stages. Diagrams illustrate common equipment used like rotary drum screens, sedimentation tanks, and ejectors. Charts provide estimated removal efficiencies for different treatment stages in reducing parameters like suspended solids, BOD, COD and toxins.
