Dairy Processing

Water management in different industries are increasingly under the spotlight because consumers and governments seek to go green. The dairy industry produces considerable amounts of wastewater with estimates of 0.4 to 0.6 cubic meters for every ton of raw milk processed. This water use also comes with the need to have immaculately clean processing conditions or risk contamination. The greatest consumer of water and greatest generator of wastewater worldwide is reportedly cheese processing.

The solid waste produced in the diary industry is another problem. Out of every 100kg of milk in the cheese production process up to 90 kg remains as whey. Filtration and anaerobic digestion can be applied to the dairy waste. After separating the solids from the liquids, the liquid can be treated in-house using one of Enviro Concepts waste water treatment solutions while the solids collected as sludge can be used as compost or fertilizer.
