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%.
