Effluent treatment Plant for Food Industry
Overview
Food processing industries generate wastewater from washing, processing, cooking, cleaning, packaging, and production operations. The effluent typically contains high levels of organic matter, suspended solids, fats, oils & grease (FOG), starch, sugars, proteins, and nutrients. An Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) is designed to efficiently treat this wastewater, reduce pollution load, enable water reuse, and ensure compliance with environmental regulations.
Treatment Process Flow
Collection Tank → Equalization Tank → Oil & Grease Trap → pH Correction → DAF System → Biological Treatment (MBBR/FBBR/SBR) → Secondary Clarifier → Pressure Sand Filter → Activated Carbon Filter → UF/RO System (Optional) → Water Reuse / Discharge
