Abstract
The effluent from a Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) that was used to treat w aste water from a fluid milk processing plant was utilized in this study. A fter analyzing the waste water for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemica l oxygen demand (COD), total solids (TS), total suspended solids (TSS) and pH, a prediction equation for BOD was calculated. This prediction equation can be used for BOD at the 95% confidence interval in this particular waste water.
