ABSTRACT

Textile industry is considered as one of the largest generators of toxic chemical

wastewater in Malaysia. Textile industries consume large volumes of water and

chemicals for wet processing. Considering both volumes discharged and effluent

composition, the wastewater generated by the textile industry is rated as the most

polluting among all industrial sectors. The waste from the industrial wastewater can

damage sewers and interfere with the operation of treatment plants. Textile wastewater

includes a large variety of dyes and chemicals additions that make the environmental

challenge for textile industry not only as liquid waste but also in its chemical

composition. The biological treatment method has been proven effective and that can be

used for various types of wastewater including recalcitrant chemical wastewater.

Anaerobic technologies are a well-established technology that has significant advantages

over other technologies available for textile wastewater treatment. Biological methods are

generally cheap and simple to apply and are currently used to remove organics and colour

from dyeing and textile wastewater. The aim of the project is to apply Bovine Rectal

Bacteria (BRB) for treatments of textile wastewater with the removal of contaminants are

focused on Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Sulphate (SO4) and Dissolved Oxygen

(DO.) It is expected that bovine rectal bacteria are able to remove the quantified

contaminants in textile wastewater and thus promoting a green technology in wastewater

treatment.
