Abstract

The effluent from a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) that was used to treat waste water from a fluid milk processing plant was utilized in this study. After analyzing the waste water for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total solids (TS), total suspended solids (TSS) and pH, a prediction equation for BOD was calculated. This prediction equation can be used for BOD at the 95% confidence interval in this particular waste water.
