Description :
This research work was carried out to compare the physicochemical parameters of treated and untreated effluent samples from Sonhira co-operative dairy Ltd. Kadegaon. Dist –Sangli.(M.S.) India.Treated and untreated effluent samples were collected and analyzed for physicochemical investigations viz. pH, temperature, color, DO, BOD, COD, TDS,TSS, TS, chloride sulphate, oil & grease . It was observed that, the Color of untreated effluent sample was Whitish while Colorless for treated effluent sample. The temperature of treated and untreated effluent samples at the time of sampling were found to be 26°C and 28°C respectively .The pH value for treated and untreated effluent samples were 7.9 and 8.4.The Dissolved Oxygen for treated effluents was found to be 3.9 mg/lit. The BOD 754 &27.59 mg/lit, COD 1264 & 89 mg/lit, TDS 969 & 456 mg/lit, TS 1257 & 523 mg/lit, TSS 289 & 78 mg/lit, Chloride 619 & 84 mg/lit, Sulphate 401& 69 mg/lit, Oil and grease 79 & 2.4 mg/lit. respectively for untreated and treated effluent samples of milk processing unit under study. Waste water quality was found to be maintained within safe limits and result shows that the experience of better handling of plant during the course of this research work. Lastly it is concluded that the treatment plant of milk processing unit was working with satisfactory efficiency.
