Dairy Wastewater as Alternative Carbon Source for Biological Denitrification

The milk processing industry produced significant quantities of wastewater. The pollution in dairy wastewater makes organic substances, and compounds with nitrogen and phosphorus. The organic load of dairy industry wastewater makes them a suitable substrate for the denitrification process of wastewater rich in nitrate and of low COD/N. The aim of this study was to investigate the potential of dairy wastewater as an alternative carbon source for denitrification process. Denitrification was studied at various ratios of COD/NO3-N. All experiments were performed with microbial biomass of nitrificants and denitrificants as a mixed microbial culture.
