In this study, effects of aeration time and lime coagulant on SBR efficiency were investigated. Materials and Method: Two Parallel reactors with a volume of 20 L was used. The examination was conducted in three steps. During these steps , effects of conventional aeration time, long aeration time and use of lime coagulant aim after 7h aerated on SBR performance were investigated, respectively. Results and discussion: The results were shown an increase of aeration period can be effected on increase removal rate of COD, BOD NH4-N, and TP, respectively. And also this is indicated suitable efficiency for the removal of COD , BOD, NH4-N were created with a duty cycle 24h and aeration time of 7 h. Application of SBR system with the aeration time of 7h and injection of lime coagulant aim in the loading rate of 0.6 kg BOD/m3.day, provided the essential standards for the disposal of effluent into the water reservoirs. Conclusion: Optimized SBR process can be provided to reach better effluent standards in less time in milk and dairy industries and also reduce time can decreases of operation costs.
