N2 - In this study, investigations were carried out to find the best possible way of lowering the concentration of suspended solids at the blast furnace gas scrubbing systems which have long been a problem in steel making industries. The analyses of the experimental results showed that the Bulab 5615 that is currently being used is the best possible chemical polymer. At very low concentration the chemical has shown its ability to reduce suspended solids to desired levels. The three other chemicals used required a much higher dosing rate. Experiment was also conducted on controlling the conductivity and to solve the issues of high COD, ammonia and phenols using a pilot bio-plant and reverse osmosis. This work will make the adhering to the policy implemented in 2006 of zero effluent discharge of the Department of Water and Forestry and contribution towards saving our water.
