In any dairy industry the quantity and characteristics of effluent is depending upon the extent of production activities, Pasteurisation to several milk products. Waste water generated in dairy contains highly putrescible organic constituents and almost all the organic constituents of dairy waste are easily biodegradable. The anaerobic digesters in first phase of treatment, which is followed by high rate aerobic treatment remains as the most common effluent treatment method for dairy industry. The Indian dairy industries is stated to have the growth at more than15% & poised to cross the 150 Million tones per annum.The requirement for milk & milk products are keep growing in steady pace, making a significant impact on the Indian agriculture domain. In dairy industry waste water produces from the operations of bottle, can and tanker washing, machinery and floor, the liquid waste in a dairy originates from manufacturing process, utilities and service section.

The paper present initiated study the removal efficiency and performance of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor for treating dairy effluent and biogas generation estimation. The aim of this work was to the study of a UASB reactor treating dairy wastewater. The digester efficiency of treating dairy wastewater at organic loading rates was studied and its performance was assessed by monitoring pH, dissolved Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) and biogas production.The reactor achieved COD, BOD,TSS removal efficiency was observed 87.06%,94.50%,and 56.54% respectively. and the VFA/Alkalinity ratio varies from 0.28 to 0.43. The pH of reactor was found to be 6.9-7.1. The average gas production and methane gas conversion at optimum conditions was observed to be 179.35 m3/day and 125.55 m3/day, respectively. The overall methane composition was noticed to be 75% of the biogas.This study suggests that the post-treatment of dairy waste water effluent is required to meet the safe effluent disposal standards. Keywords: Anaerobic digestion, Biogas, Dairy wastewater, UASB reactor, Methane.
