One of these waste materials is the slurry in dairy farms. In order to design an efficient waste water treatment system, it is of primary importance to check the place where water is used and the wastewater is produced in each section. Then, regarding the quality and quantity of the produced waste water and the amount of required treatment, the final design of wastewater treatment plant will be prepared.

Industrial dairy farms are considered as one of the most polluting industries. For example, in some cases, the amount of COD (one of the parameters of pollution) in waste water is more than 35,000 ppm, while the standard value by the Environmental Organization is 100 ppm. Also, the amount of particles may reach 10,000 ppm, while the standard value is 200 ppm. So, this industry is in high demand of establishing wastewater treatment plants. However, it should be noticed that some equipment used for separating manure and water (separators) substantially change the physical characteristics of waste water in dairy farms. So, the waste water is categorized as a special one, for which innovative treatment methods are required.
