The cost effective treatment of sugar industry wastewater is a challenging task. In the present work, an attemptwas made for the treatment of sugar industry wastewater using Electrocoagulation technique with Aluminum electrodes assacrificial anode in bipolar connection system. The effects of operating parameters such as pH, voltage and electrolysisduration on the removal of Color and TDS were investigated. The optimum value for each operating variable wasexperimentally determined. The optimum values of voltage, initial pH and electrolysis time were found to be 25V, 7.0 and 1hours respectively. The experiments revealed that color and TDS in aqueous phase was effectively removed. The analysis ofthe treated water showed that the maximum color and TDS removal efficiencies were 95% and 94% respectively at optimumconditions. The effluent was very clear and its quality meets the discharge standard. Consequently, the Electrocoagulationprocess can be considered as a reliable, safe and cost effective method for the treatment of sugar industry wastewater.
