wastewater have been described and invariably these methods
are used in a sequence to suit the wastewater treatment
requirement The treatment of water-soluble compounds that
cause depletion of oxygen in the wastewater as well as
surrounding areas around it, have been the target of many a
study and the most proven systems for the treatment of such
wastewaters has been by the "biological" route (Singh S K et.al.
