Rapid industrialization and unscientific disposal of industrial wastewaters have resulted in the pollution of water bodies and deterioration of water quality all over the globe. Valorization of industrial wastewaters will help in reducing the negative impact on the environment and will add value to the waste. The present study targets utilization of sugar processing industrial effluent for bio-based production of Volatile fatty acids (VFA) through anaerobic acidogenesis. Batch studies conducted to determine the VFA production potential of sugar processing industry effluent resulted in the VFA yield of 0.70 g/g COD utilized. Further continuous VFA production system was developed and optimization of Organic loading rate (OLR) (2–22 g COD/L · day) was carried out with constant Hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 1 day. The continuous reactors studies resulted in a maximum VFA yield of 0.72 g/g COD utilized and productivity of 11.04 g COD/L·day at OLR of 14 g COD/L · day and 22 g COD/L · day, respectively. The developed process will provide an environmentally safe and efficient method for the conversion of complex industrial wastes to valuable products such as VFA.
