    In This Present Study, The Reduction Trends in Total Solids (TS) of Effluents from Food and Detergent Industries were used to determine the rate of Remediation using Immobilized Bacterial Substrates. Two different Bacteria Pseudomonas Spp and Bacillus Spp were isolated from Food Effluent (FE) and Detergent Effluents (DE) and were used for their remediation study. The results showed that the reduction in Total Solids (TS) ranged between 11.55% and 84.26% for Food Effluent and 17.89% and 97.84% for Detergent Effluent (DE) Respectively. The Reductions in TS were subjected to zero and first order kinetics. The rate constant for TS reduction for zero order kinetics were ranged (FE 0.095-0.758 Mg/L/Day and DE 0.036-1.029 Mg/L/Day) and first order kinetics also ranged (FE 0.015-0.238 D-1 and DE 0.015-0.42 D-1 ). The kinetic models’ results showed that both the TS reduction for Pseudomonas Spp. and Bacillus Spp. used in this research followed both the zero order and first order kinetics.
