Abstract
The objective of this investigation was to study the effectiveness of bioau gmentation by applying an enzymatic supplement in the biodegradability of d airy wastewaters and raw cheese whey. Enzymatic methods have shown promise for remediating high strength wastewaters. It has been found that this proc ess was able to enhance the removal of pollutants, expressed by the gross p arameters of BOD5 and COD, and influence the behavior of total solids and o dor sufficiently positively.
