Who developed a high-performance bioreactor system integrated with sustainable pre-treatment process has been developed for enabling anaerobic digestion of complex fat-rich sludge from dairy industry?

Option 3 : Sandeep N. Mudliar

The correct answer is Sandeep N. Mudliar.

• A high-performance bioreactor system integrated with sustainable pre-treatment process has been developed for enabling anaerobic digestion of complex fat-rich sludge from dairy industry.
• It has been further integrated with membrane bioreactor based-wastewater treatment to enable zero liquid discharge in the dairy industry.
• It has been developed by Dr. Sandeep N. Mudliar at CSIR-CFTRI Mysore.

• It can also be applied for anaerobic digestion of complex solid waste containing Fats and oils and can be coupled with wastewater treatment to enable Zero Liquid discharge.
• Further, the technology can be used for solid and liquid waste management in food and allied industries.
• The sustainable pre-treatment technique is applicable to all types of complex solid wastes to enhance biogas production as well as robustness of anaerobic digestion process.
• Dairy and food industries are the likely industries which can take up the technology.
• The technology will also be applicable for any biodegradable solid waste sludge and food waste from any food industry as well as food industry wastewaters.
