This investigation is intended for Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), Total Dissolved Solid (TDS), Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Conductivity, Dissolved oxygen, Absorbance, PH and turbidity reduction from textile industrial produce effluents that are highly complex and characterized. In this study coagulant using Moringa Oliefera seed was used to reduce the suspended and colloidal materials responsible for turbidity of the waste water. The seed powder was used as a natural coagulant to reduce turbidity, the test were carried out using textile effluent with conventional test apparatus. Various result were obtained by increasing dosage of Moringa Oleifera seed powder from 4g to 24g optimum dosage for reduction of COD, BOD, TDS, Turbidity, Conductivity, Absorbance and D.O was determined. It was observed that the highest dose which is 24g has a greater efficiency in reduction of all parameters tested with Ph of 6.48, COD 46mg/L, BOD 12mg/L, and Conductivity 360MSCm-1, TDS 212mg/L, Turbidity 8NTU, DO 4.7 and absorbance of 0.65. Moringa Oleifera seed showed potential in industrial textile effluent treatments among others.
