Effluent treatment has these days become very critical everywhere right from giant manufacturing units to mini household. Water being the precious resource, several attempts are being instigated to promote usage of treated water. A study is made on plant operations at one of the LPG Bottling plants in India at Mysore of Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). This paper discusses the treatment mechanism that is needed to be adopted at LPG Bottling plants for proper processing of hazardous wastes that come out as byproducts at these factories. This also compares the effectiveness of traditional treatment mechanism with SBR. Measures that are needed to be taken to increase water reusability and the various processes in which the treated water can be used are elucidated.
