TDS is total dissolved solids and it is linked with salinity, depending on your wastewater . There are some theoretical limits and 5000 mg/l is high. In such cases your treatment plant can fail. For such cases you need to adapt your microorganism to such environment . You can do it by feeding slowly your plant.

Ademar Cesar Ferreira Thanks for your input.

I was told about resilient microorganisms from Australia that is being used in very saline water.

I literally just want to reduce COD so quite tricky

May be it is a solution but you can prepare your bugs yourself since you have a tank where you can control your food and microorganisms. We did it in Brazil in a plant that was treating production water from an oil company. Operation of these plants requires expertise and control otherwise you can loose your bugs. You shall be sure that you do not have other contaminants tat can affect your biology.
