Abstract

When making milk products, a significant volume of water is utilized. This waste water has organic, biodegradable substances including dissolved sugar, protein, and lipids. Dairy waste water is therefore regarded as having a high organic matter concentration and a high Chemical-Oxygen-Demand (COD) level. According to estimates, the COD produced by the dairy business is higher than that of the sugarcane industry and varies from 1300 to 1800 mg/lit. The objective of this research is to identify the behaviors of several wastewater parameters. In order to figure out if recovered waste water was suitable for reuse, the effectiveness of the effluent treatment facility was also assessed. Wastewater produced by the cleaning and washing processes in the plant accounts for an important part of the water used in food processing. Dairy waste water was characterized high Biological-Oxygen- Demand (BOD), COD, and level of solids and their fraction such as total solids, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, and concentration. The discharging of dairy waste water causes serious environmental problem. The execution findings include an evaluation of one of the Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP) offered for the treatment of wastewater produced by the dairy sector. One of the most advanced chemical methods is electrochemical treatment, which provides high removal efficiency in a small reactor with straightforward equipment for process control and operation. In this procedure, electrodes in a reactor tank receive an electric current that creates a coagulant agent.
