Abstract

The objectives of the present paper were to investigate the concentration of total coliform in wastewater effluents and the effect of water chemical and physical characters in it. The most correlated parameter with total coliform was COD. It means that the wastewater treatment efficient effects on total coliform concentration. And we developed predictive model for the total coliform concentration. The estimated parameters for model were COD, temperature, nitrite, chloride, Mn and regression model equation was determined; log (Total Coli.) = 1.861+0.065[COD]+0.038[temperature]-0.0004[$Cl^-$]+3.697[Mn]-0.32 [$NO_2-N$] The developed model provided very strong correlation ($R^2:0.82$) between total coliform and regression equation. The parameters having high sensitivity were COD and temperature. So the study indicated that if the temperature and COD of wastewater effluent were known, we would estimate the concentration of total coliform and decide the most effective usage of chlorine.
