Due to the increasing demand of the centralise treatment for the industrial waste water the vermifiltration is an newly developed innovative wastewater treatment technology which implies the use of composting earthworms to treat wastewater loaded with high organic contents. The body of earthworms works as a bio filter and the symbiotic and synergistic interaction of earthworms with microorganisms present in the waste water, is responsible for the treatment of wastewater as it passes through the gut and intestine of worms. It was observed that the vermin filter rector shows the highest reduction rate in BOD, COD, TSS, TDS by 90%, 86%, 75% and 60% respectively. There is not much more changes are observed in pH for vermivermi filter. There is no sludge formation in the vermifiltration technology which requires additional expenditure on land filling and disposal.
