Environmental Impacts of Industrial Liquid Discharges from the Food Alcohol Production Plant on the Waters of the Klou River of Logozohè in Benin

This study aims the evaluation of environmental impacts of dusty fluid on the production of nutriment alcohol at Logozohè through a physico-chemical settings of its components and an assessment of it impact on river Klou which is the fallen point. Then, twenty-two (22) skills were measured through the normative methods on eight (08) areas along the Klou river from the upstream to the downstream around the production land in 2017; August 25th to 28th.. Data were submitted to descriptive and statistical analysis and a Main Components Analysis made with Minitab 14. Results reveal that the pH, turbidity, suspended matter (SS) and COD of the principal effluent and Klou river do not meet drinking and wastewater water quality standard for Republic of Benin. But nitrogen pollution is low and it’s reduced to kjeldahl nitrogen (NTK). Organic pollution is very important and not biodegradable. This leads to suspicion of the use of synthetic organic solvents in the processes of the production unit. Conclusion: This massive organic pollution of the receiving environment on which local residents depend challenges more than one of the environmental impact of the food alcohol production plant on the future of the Klou river
