This paper presents the performance of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor in treating sugarindustry effluent. The physico-chemical profile of effluent from sugar mill was determined. The parameters measured aretemperature (40°C), colour, pH (7.5), BOD (83 mg/l), COD (321 mg/l), D.O (2.83 mg/l), total dissolved solids (2679.3mg/l), total suspended solids (301.7 mg/l), total solids (2981 mg/l), chloride (211 mg/l), sulphate (649 mg/l) and oil &grease (14 mg/l). According to the permissible level suggested by Bureau of Indian Standards, almost all the waterquality parameters in the sugar effluents have been found to be very high and well above the permissible limits. Thisstudy revealed that the effluent discharged from the sugar industry is highly polluted and exceeds the prescribed limitsfor irrigation and public use.
