CREATING VALUE FOR INDUSTRY 41<br />
Robert Wiseman<br />
Dairies<br />
Reducing water consumption for a higher<br />
economic value <strong>and</strong> 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 dem<strong>and</strong> (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 <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong><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 <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong><br />
employs more than 4,700 employees.<br />

IDRAFLOT <br />
New generation flotation unit<br />
Very compact, these units reach a high<br />
thickening <strong>and</strong> clarification grade allowing<br />
ultra-flotation with the highest removal<br />
efficiency on COD, suspended solids <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> an uniform distribution of the<br />
water flow along the entire surface of the<br />
unit.<br />
The saturation system warrants a complete<br />
<strong>and</strong> even saturation free from the formation<br />
of big bubbles.<br />
The reactor allows to sample <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong><br />
fat processing<br />
• Fishing industry<br />
• Canneries<br />
• Wine industry<br />
• Soft drinks production
