The Solution<br />
Veolia Water Technologies proposed a resource<br />
recovery plant (RRP) capable of processing 1.5<br />
MLD, which will later be upgraded to 2 MLD.<br />
The RRP will make use of Biothane’s state of<br />
the art Memthane® technology, capable of<br />
removing >95% of effluent COD.<br />
A piloting study was performed to provide an<br />
effluent specific treatment facility, ensuring<br />
product performance <strong>and</strong> client satisfaction. ●<br />

Woodl<strong>and</strong>s Dairy, 1000+ people, is<br />
one of the largest manufacturers of<br />
UHT milk in South Africa, marketed under<br />
the br<strong>and</strong> FIRST CHOICE®. Woodl<strong>and</strong>s Dairy<br />
is a local, Eastern Cape processor of farm<br />
fresh milk, who produces <strong>and</strong> packages high<br />
quality dairy products. Dairy farming methods<br />
should not only have a minimal impact on<br />
the environment but should also be animal<br />
friendly <strong>and</strong> boost public support for dairy<br />
farming.<br />
The challenge<br />
Veolia Water Technologies South Africa (Pty)<br />
Ltd was awarded the contract by Woodl<strong>and</strong>s<br />
Dairy (Pty) Ltd to provide a viable processing<br />
solution for their growing process effluent<br />
stream. The facility contains a milk sterilisation<br />
<strong>and</strong> packaging plant as well as a cheese<br />
factory. All process effluent is sent to a<br />
combined effluent sump.<br />
