Abstract: Biofilter had been proven to be effective in treatment non strength of wastewater and this method is suitable to treat the wastewater from agriculture. In this study, bioparticles will be used and the biofilter will be tested for wastewater collected from fish pond in UTM Skudai, Johor. Since biofilter is made from numerous filtering media, clogging is expected to occur during the biofilm development. Therefore, the bioparticle was developed to minimize the clogging effect and ease maintenance of the biofilter. In this study, bioparticles consists zeolite, blast furnace slag and cement with a suitable combination ratio to produce a better removal of water parameter.The agriculture wastewater will be analyzed for (COD), (BOD), phosphate, sulphate, nitrate, ammonical nitrogen and pH. Treated wastewater can be reused for crops plantation, irrigations and others.
