Sugar industry is one of the most important food industries which many other industries relies on it. However, the waste products of sugar industry have environmental hazardous. This study was conducted in White Nile State-Assalaya sugar factory to investigate the environmental impact of the sugar waste in the region. Thus, the experiments were conducted during the production and maintenance periods. The results obtained from the analysis of the liquid wastes, show that the values of physical and chemical properties (PH, Electrical Conductivity, Chemical oxygen demand and Biochemical oxygen demand) are higher than the permissible limits of the Sudanese standard specifications. Therefore, the disposal of the liquid waste in the surrounding environment is dangerous.
