  • Abstract:
  • This study investigates the efficacy of a low-cost biofiltration system utilizing indigenous materials (cow dung, sand, gravel) for treating high-strength dairy wastewater. Through comprehensive testing at flow rates of 3-20 ml/min over 15 days, the system demonstrated optimal performance at 3 ml/min, achieving 72.3% COD reduction (from 620 mg/l to 171.6 mg/l) and 68.4% BOD removal. The research establishes practical design parameters for rural applications while addressing the economic constraints of small-scale dairy operations in developing regions.
