In this study were determinate quality characteristics from the effluent and sludge: pH, BOD – total biological oxygen demand), BOD5, COD - chemical oxygen demand, SS - suspended solids. N - nitrogen, (TNK), P – phosphorus, specific resistance to filtration. This results show a possibility to use the sludge and effluent from wastewater treatment plant in agriculture according with national legislation. Testing time was about 12 weeks.
