The dairy industries process the raw milk products and convert them to consumer milk, butter cheese etc. In these processes a large quantity of pure water is utilized throughout the manufacture and clean-up process. The waste water generated from these process operations will have high BOD as the waste is mainly organic in nature. Here in this study Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) was employed in biological treatement the wastewater from a diary industry. The reactor was made of poly acrylic material with a volume was 20L. The reactor was fed with both the raw wastewater and synthetic wastewater under different environmental conditions. The reactor was also supplied with oxygen using an air sparger. A maximum of 91% COD removal efficiency was achieved by varying the COD concentration from 500 to 2500 mg/l. The optimum dissolved oxygen concentration in the reactor was found to be 2.4 mg/l and MLVSS was 2950 mg/l. From the study conducted using this reactor it was found that the SBR was predominantly suited well for the biodegradation of wastewater in the diary industries.
