In this paper , we have studied a perturbed Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation ut+uux+βuxxx=εuxx,|ε|?1, Under first order approximation and travelling wave case, the direct perturba-tion method to find the general solution is established. By means of the single soliton solution of the zeroth order equation we have obtained the general soliton solution of the first order equation. It con-tains many diferent soliton solutions and any one of them describes an array of solitons in semi-infinite space. The analyses show that the dissipation e makes the bright soliton the lower and narrower and the dark soliton the shallower and narrower than unperturbed KdV soliton.
