Mr Hussan,
There are some differences between whey from cheese production or from Ricotta cheese production and from cow or sheep milk origin, in any case whey is basically composed by lactose with extremely high COD concentration.
The physic-chemical treatment is very expensive with very low efficiencies (50%), biological aerobic treatment is again very expensive and very difficult to manage. I made some experience with anaerobic treatment with good result but the management was difficult and in any case was necessary to have one final aerobic treatment.
I think that the best solution is to separate the whey from the wastewater and to produce whey powder and to sell it.

Dear Vincenzo,
Thank you for this. What you say confirms most of my conclusions. Can we discuss this further?
