Abstract

Biodegradation of fats, oil and grease (FOG) in dairy wastewaters has been a major challenge for the
industry. Many treatment processes have been tried to solve the issue of environmental degradation
caused by the wastewater effluents from the dairy industry. The anaerobic reactor has been suggested by
several researchers with some success in the degradation of FOG. Biodegradation of dairy effluent by
using selected microbial cultures. So single culture was proved to be the most effective in reducing
selected physiochemical parameters of water. And mixed culture was proved to be less effective in
reducing selected physiochemical parameters of water. It gives % COD reduction 86.34% and % Oil and
grease reduction 73.43%.
