CREATING VALUE FOR INDUSTRY 41<br />

Robert Wiseman<br />

Dairies<br />

Reducing water consumption for a higher<br />

economic value and a lower carbon footprint<br />

One of the major costs in milk processing<br />

is water: 1.3 liters of water is needed for<br />

every one liter of milk processed. On top of<br />

this, 4.2g of chemical oxygen demand (COD)<br />

is produced from every liter of milk processed,<br />

which is then discharged into wastewater.<br />

Robert Wiseman decided to optimize its<br />

water and wastewater use by aiming to<br />

reduce water consumption across its dairy<br />

network by 25% over a five year period.<br />

The project was started in their main dairy<br />

plant located in Bridgwater, which processes<br />

125 million liters of milk per day.<br />

Veolia Water Technologies (VWT) is<br />

supporting Robert Wiseman’s project by<br />

providing a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)<br />

system and a membrane bioreactor (MBR)<br />

to reduce COD. The quality of the discharged<br />

effluent more than meets the environmental<br />

requirements. In fact, the quality of the<br />

treated effluent was so good that Robert<br />

Wiseman wanted to reuse it.<br />

VWT therefore proposed its reverse osmosis<br />

(RO) system: MegaRO TM to recycle the effluent<br />

in order to use it for the CIP (Cleaning in<br />

Place) system. The MegaRO technology uses<br />

a membrane to remove 99% of residual COD,<br />

dissolved salts and bacteria from the treated<br />

process wastewater, producing water of equal<br />

or better quality than the mains supply.<br />

VWT was one of the early pioneers of<br />

MBRs, thanks to its Biosep process, and<br />

using this expertise VWT were able to feed<br />

the MBR effluent directly to the MegaRO<br />

system with no set-backs. Robert Wiseman<br />

became the first dairy industry business in<br />

the UK to install a RO recycle system, enabling<br />

them to recover 200m/day of process<br />

wastewater.<br />

The reverse osmosis process is driven by<br />

pressure, but the MegaRO’s low-pressure<br />

membranes and high-efficiency pumps make<br />

it one of the most energy efficient systems<br />

on the market. Low energy use means not<br />

only reduced carbon emissions but also low<br />

operating costs. Moreover, the quality of the<br />

waste concentrate stream from the MegaRO<br />

is still good enough for the effluent to be<br />

discharged directly into the drainage ditch.<br />

"Because the operating cost of the MegaRO<br />

is low, the recovered water actually costs less<br />

than mains water even after including capital<br />

amortization. We expect to get a payback on<br />

the £130,000 (approx. €153,000) investment<br />

in about two and half years." said Eleanor<br />

Walton, Robert Wiseman Dairies' project<br />

manager.<br />

Although the plant has only been in<br />

operation for six months, Walton had<br />

enough confidence to be talking to<br />

Veolia Water Technologies about<br />

a second plant to recycle another<br />

80m/day of wastewater. “We also<br />

want to roll out this kind of technology<br />

to some of our other sites where they have an<br />

expensive sewer discharge” she says. ●<br />

Robert Wiseman Dairies operates six<br />

dairies, 14 distribution depots and<br />

employs more than 4,700 employees.<br />

IDRAFLOT <br />

New generation flotation unit<br />

Very compact, these units reach a high<br />

thickening and clarification grade allowing<br />

ultra-flotation with the highest removal<br />

efficiency on COD, suspended solids and fat.<br />

IDRAFLOT is a rectangular compact unit,<br />

easily transportable, manufactured entirely<br />

in stainless steel. It is provided with lamellar<br />

packs, to achieve high treatment capacity<br />

compared to its compact size, telescopic level<br />

adjustment to optimize the sludge extraction<br />

with dry matter up to 8%.<br />

IDRAFLOT flotation units are protected by<br />

three patents. They are intended to assure a<br />

perfect mixing of the waste with saturated<br />

water and an uniform distribution of the<br />

water flow along the entire surface of the<br />

unit.<br />

The saturation system warrants a complete<br />

and even saturation free from the formation<br />

of big bubbles.<br />

The reactor allows to sample and optimize<br />

the desired parameters through a very<br />

simple adjustment of chemicals (coagulant/<br />

flocculant). ●<br />

IDRAFLOT is suitable:<br />

• As pretreatment upstream of<br />

a biological plant to remove<br />

biodegradable fats, suspended solids,<br />

fibres, etc. The efficiency is up to<br />

98% with consequent COD drop of<br />

between 70% - 80%.<br />

• As a clarification plant downstream<br />

of a biological plant to remove light<br />

sludge particles not captured by<br />

secondary decanters.<br />

• For tertiary treatment<br />

• For sludge thickener<br />

• For liquid/solid separation in<br />

industrial process plants (pulp<br />

& paper, wine, etc.), Idraflot is<br />

the best solution to potentiate<br />

surcharged or undersized plants.<br />

Markets & Applications<br />

• Dairy<br />

• Slaughterhouses, meat, salami and<br />

fat processing<br />

• Fishing industry<br />

• Canneries<br />

• Wine industry<br />

• Soft drinks production
