                        Origin of the wastewater issued from the dairy industry and its by-products

                        Wastewater are generated through:

                        • Manufacturing process,
                        • Cleaning of tanks, equipment and installations, surfaces (floors, walls), leaks and spills.
                        • Regular drainage operations. These operations represent the largest part of water consumption to guarantee the required hygiene and quality conditions.
                        • Sanitary uses.

                        There are several treatment solutions depending on the defined strategy, the type of project (wastewater treatment, reuse) and the discharge of treated water. 

                          • 1. Pumping at the head of the plant.

                          • Depending on the flow, the pumping station can be prefabricated or a civil engineering structure.  Salher tanks are manufactured in GFRP according to the Filament Winding method and have the following advantages:

                            • Complete waterproofness and corrosion resistance,
                            • High isothermal resistance to temperature variations,
                            • High chemical and mechanical resistance to enable underground installation in circumstances such as deepness, water-table, etc.,
                            • Light equipment,
                            • Long-term durability,
                            • Flexibility which enables multiple shapes and designs in accordance with the requirements of the project or works.
                          • 2. Pretreatments.

                          • The installation of a screening system for coarse, fine and non-putrescible solids is necessary. Salher recommends a rotary drum sieve with automatic cleaning system and a mesh lower than 3mm, reference TA-RO Salher brand.
                          • 3. Advanced primary treatments.

                            • Equalization tank to buffer the peaks flows of the plant, homogenize the loads, control and correct the pH, and laminate the effluent. 
                            • Dissolved air flotation unit, a physical-chemical treatment that separates suspended solids, greases and organic matter by flotation through micro-bubbles. The yields of this process can be greatly  improved with the addition of coagulants and flocculants, prepared in the UAP (automatic polyelectrolyte preparation plant).
                          • 4. Conventional biological secondary treatments.

                            • Activated sludge treatment (aerobic) with nitrification-denitrification and clarification process.
                            • Treatment through moving bed biofilm reactor or MBBR system (aerobic). More compact and flexible technology; stable for the removal of BOD/COD and nitrogen. The addition of iron salts (iron chloride) is necessary to chemically remove phosphorus.
                          • 5. Sludge conditioning.

                          • Once the treated water is ready for discharge,  we recommend to reduce the maximum volume of sludge. To this end, several treatments are available:

                            • Stabilization
                            • Thickening
                            • Dehydration
                          • 6. Desodorization.

                          • This process eliminates odors through active carbon and ionization.
                        • Solutions for water treatment in the food industry

                        • The most important environmental problem of this type of industry, apart from the consumption of water and energy, is the discharge of wastewater, both for its volume and for its organic pollutant load. 

                          Reduce the wastewater from food manufacturing industry

                          The industrial wastewater treatment and its subsequent reuse for multiple applications contribute to the quality improvement of this critical raw material and to its preservation.

                          The parameters of industrial wastewater issued from food industries are very variable and depend on the processes and activities carried out. Salher provides global solutions and recommendations about the most appropriate treatment.

                          Salher supplies treatments of wastewater issued from the agricultural industry, as well as fishing and fish processing industry, sugar industry, meat industry (slaughterhouses and meat processing), food packaging and processing, catering sector, bakery and chocolate industries, confectionery and sweets factories.

                            Reducing wastewater from beverage manufacturing industry.

                            Water is the basic raw material to produce beverages, thus Salher analyzes the most convenient treatment according to the production volume, manufacturing methods and the outlet parameters required.
                            These analysis tasks are performed both for the manufacturing process water and for the discharge wastewater.

                            Wineries water treatment.

                            The production of one liter of wine requires between 30 and 250 liters of water. Wine discharges are not toxic, however, they have an important pollutant effect due to the high organic load.
                            The wineries discharges can be variable – volume and pollutant concentration – due to the seasonal nature of the production (up to 60% of the spillage occurs during the period of harvesting and transfer of the wine), the volume of production of each winery and the operations carried out such as processing, ageing, storage and bottling.
