Abstract
In wastewaters which are generated in different operations in a chemical process plant, huge amount of organic compounds are present. These compounds generate COD level of wastewater from thousands to lakhs. The degradation of these compounds is done in a conventional process in secondary treatment. After treatment dead microbes coming in waste streams can be utilized to produce (PHA) polyhydroxyalkanoates. In the thesis extraction of PHA with solvents will be tried and optimum conditions will be find. Characterization of the PHA will be done.
