The liquid waste of the soft drink industry usually uses raw materials in the form of sugar as a flavoring with glucose as the main raw material. Thus, it is not surprising that the waste contains a lot of organic materials. The purpose of this study is to provide another alternative in controlling the pollution of liquid industrial waste by using natural coagulants in terms of reducing the value of COD, TSS, turbidity, and pH by varying the coagulant dose of Moringa seeds. This research was carried out by preparing Moringa seeds that used as a coagulant and then varying the weight of the biocoagulant with slow stirring technique when contacted with waste to find the optimum dose in reducing COD, TSS, turbidity, and pH values. Based on the results of the study, the optimum dose obtained was 1.5 grams of Moringa seed coagulant which could reduce TSS by 89%, turbidity 65% and COD 88%. From these results it can be concluded that using Moringa seed coagulant can improve the quality of the liquid waste of the soft drink industry
