Abstract

The aim of the study was to describe the modification of septic tank using different densities of sponge for treating dairy wastewater. The sponge used as a gravity filter media after conventional septic tank. The densities of sponge has a strong effect of total suspended solid (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) efficiencies which are achieved removal efficiencies 94.96%, 79.72%, 79.19% respectively.
