A

n innovative solution developed by Veolia Water Technologies, Biosep™ combines two proven technologies: • Biological treatment using activated sludge • Membrane filtration Biosep™ produces very high quality water, fully compliant with the highest standards for water reuse for irrigation, industrial and municipal applications.

With more than 120 references worldwide, Biosep™ is recommended for: • Significant reduction of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus pollution • High and simultaneous removal of bacteria depending on the treated water, completed by downstream disinfection.

Biosep™ is sold under the Neosep™ trademark in Japan, the United States, Australia and New Zealand. ●

Biosep™ Pack - new standard membrane filtration units > Flow rates from 4 to 110 m⁳/hr > Flexible and modular solutions, manufacturing in-house in the Veolia workshops > Guaranteed performances identical to those of the conventional Biosep™ process Biosep™ Pack is added to a biological aeration tank. The membrane bioreactor replaces the traditional settling system and separates perfectly the purifying biomass from the treated effluent through microfiltration. The microfiltered water is of excellent bacteriological quality and removal of TSS is guaranteed at any time. Flow rates from 4 to 110 m⁳/hr.

Applications > Small or medium sized industrial effluent treatment plants (800 to 10,000 PE) > Temporary solutions during refurbishment or upgrade work

The Solution

Woodlands Dairy Anaerobic Resource Recovery Facility

W

oodlands Dairy, 1000+ people, is one of the largest manufacturers of UHT milk in South Africa, marketed under the brand FIRST CHOICE®. Woodlands Dairy is a local, Eastern Cape processor of farm fresh milk, who produces and packages high quality dairy products. Dairy farming methods should not only have a minimal impact on the environment but should also be animal friendly and boost public support for dairy farming.

The challenge Veolia Water Technologies South Africa (Pty) Ltd was awarded the contract by Woodlands Dairy (Pty) Ltd to provide a viable processing solution for their growing process effluent stream. The facility contains a milk sterilisation and packaging plant as well as a cheese factory. All process effluent is sent to a combined effluent sump.

Veolia Water Technologies proposed a resource recovery plant (RRP) capable of processing 1.5 MLD, which will later be upgraded to 2 MLD. The RRP will make use of Biothane’s state of the art Memthane® technology, capable of removing >95% of effluent COD. A piloting study was performed to provide an effluent specific treatment facility, ensuring product performance and client satisfaction. ● Effluent specifications Feed rate
