Dairy Production
Dairy products and their manufacturing byproducts, including whey and buttermilk, create substantial wastewater. The pasteurization and homogenization processes result in high-strength industrial wastewater, rich in biological oxygen demand (BOD), phosphorus, nitrogen, and fats, oils, and grease (FOG). Effective wastewater treatment is essential for meeting environmental discharge regulations and enabling water reuse.

Our Dairy Production Process Water Solutions
Dairy Product Wastewater Phosphorus & FOG Removal for Environmental Compliance
Through whey separation operations, equipment washing, and filtration waste, facilities deal with large volumes of wastewater, which must comply with the environmental requirements on phosphorus and FOG discharge limitations.
Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) or clarifiers are typically used to remove suspended matter in the wastewater. Aquatech can retrofit or provide service recommendations for your existing equipment to ensure discharge limits are met while maintaining a healthy watershed containing biodiversity free of eutrophication.
Dairy Product Wastewater BOD & Nitrogen Removal for Surcharge Reduction
Through whey separation operations, equipment washing, and filtration waste, facilities deal with large volumes of wastewater, typically pumped to an aeration basin or tank with a massive footprint and high aeration retention time.
Aquatech’s BioMOD™ packaged moving bed bioreactor (MBBR) can be deployed on demand to reduce seasonal nitrogen and BOD buildup, especially in the winter. The treated effluent can be directly discharged, provided that phosphorus, total suspended solids (TSS) and FOG have also been removed.
