The Department of
Microbiology organized a DBT Sponsored one day Industrial Visit to Model Dairy
on 5th July 2016 for all the Final year Degree Students of the
Department. Total 41 students were participated in this event.
Mr. Srinivas, QA Dept from the Diary explained in a vivid manner about the Dairy
practices such as checking the quality of the milk at the Raw Milk Receiving
Dock and Pasteurization techniques and temperatures followed in the dairy and
showed us the production of various dairy products.
Next, we have seen the production of
various dairy products followed by visit to Model RO water plant which comprises
the Reverse Osmosis system, ozonization, uv treatment, etc. We have visited the
Microbiology and chemistry lab in which analysis of water is done. Completer
sterilization was followed.
Finally, we have seen the Effluent
Treatment Plant in which the waste water and other liquids from the plant are
collected in a tank in which all sorts of organic and inorganic substances are
present. To the effluent tank, Methanophilic bacteria are inoculated which
produce Methane gas and the waste water is converted into useful water after
the microbial treatment. The treated water is used for growing plants through
which the biodiversity is also protected
.
The faculty Mr. K.
Balachandra & Ms. M. Glory, Dept of Microbiology accompanied the students, and
the trip was coordinated by Dr. B. Siva Kumari, DBT Coordinator.
