The sugarcane industry in Sudan produces large amounts of organic wastewater, and untreated discharge from factories threatens the environment and public health. The objectives of the present study were to determine the physiochemical and physical properties of the wastewater from (KSF) and compare it with standard specifications both international and local. The samples of wastewater were collected from (KSF). The study showed that all wastewaters contain very high levels of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values, which are (1860 mg/L) and (2800mg/l), respectively. Wastewater has badly dour and colour and this indicated that the wastewater contained high amounts of elements. For these reasons the wastewater is not useful to be used for irrigation unless it has been treated. The results obtained show that cane sugar wastewaters have to be treated by each of the processes considered, to use method of treatment after six days of aerobic digestion. The dissolved organic reductions of biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values, were noticed These are (488 mg/L) and (900mg/l), respectively. These values are permissible to use for any purpose according to standard specifications both internationally and locally. It is recommended that all sugarcane wastewater undergo aerobic treatment before discharge or reuse to protect public health and the environment.
