4 Conclusion
The batch study exhibited that both COD and ammoniacal nitrogen removal are
possible by the mixed bacterial culture as developed in the laboratory under aerobic
condition. Kinetic coefficients evaluated through experiments showed that the values
are in congruence with those obtained by earlier researchers. The kinetic constants
can be used for design of a field-scale suspended growth reactor for the treatment of
real-life bakery and confectionery wastewater.
Compliance with Ethical Standards Informed Consent Wastewater sample was collected from
the discharge outlet of a medium-sized bakery plant situated in Kasba Industrial Estate located
near East Kolkata township area, Anandapur, Kolkata 700107, India. The plant authority did not
object for sampling and analysis of their effluent for academic purposes. This study was submitted
as M-Tech level thesis which was approved by the School of Environmental Studies, Jadavpur
University. Informed consent was obtained from all individual participants and authors are included
in the study.
Ethical Approval This chapter does not contain any studies with human participants or animals
performed by any of the authors.
Conflict of Interest The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest.
