Distilleries

A waste water treatment project for a Distillery where treating most stringent molasses based distillery effluent, as per local’s discharge norms.

Challenge

Treatment of stringent effluent generated by Molasses based distillery
Having effluent characteristics as:
COD: 120,000 PPM
BOD: 80000 PPM
TSS: 17000 PPM
Major space constraint

Treatment Process

Two Stage Anaerobic Treatment
Activated Sludge Treatment
Clarification
Physio- Chemical treatment Filtration

Advantages of Offered System

Energy: The use of the anaerobic digester as a pre-treatment before the Activated sludge treatment will significantly reduce the power consumption, as there is no requirement for aeration.
Space: Anaerobic digester reduces the space requirement by reducing the aeration tank sizes.
