The product was formulated for the biological treatment of wine,
fruit and vegetable waste waters. Treatment of these seasonal waste
waters is challenging as they usually have a low pH due to presence of
organic acids and are high in ethanol and sugars that contribute to the
high BOD.
Applications
-
Winery effluent COD/BOD levels associated with
the crush, draining and pressing, distillation, barrel washing and
bottling processes can be reduced by up to 70%.
-
The pre-treatment of winery,
fruit and vegetable process effluent, prior to spray irrigation to
minimise environmental and ground water pollution.
-
The treatments of aerobic
facultative lagoons receiving fruit process wash down wastewater.
Benefits
-
Reduces BOD, COD and TSS of the treated effluent.
A reduction in COD is often accompanied by a rise in pH.
-
Reduce sewer charges by lowering the BOD of the
wastewater
-
Digests effluent material before it can become
anaerobic, thereby eliminating bad odours.
-
Reduces the organic load in receiving sewage
plants.
-
Eliminates excessive slime caused by out
competing the filaments.
-
Enhanced biological recovery from shock upsets
like pressed liquor intrusion or caustic cleaning processes.
-
Reduce sludge production in holding tanks and
lagoons.
