Dairy Industry Waste & its treatment
1.
2. WASTEWATER GENERATION
The dairy industry is one of the most
polluting of industries, not only in terms of
the volume of effluent generated, but also in
terms of its characteristics as well.
A chain of operations involving receiving
and storing of raw materials, processing of
raw materials into finished products,
packaging and storing of finished products,
and a group of other ancillary operations
(e.g., heat transfer and cleaning) will
produce wastewater.
3. In the dairy industry, some amount of
wastewater gets produced during starting,
equilibrating, stopping, and rinsing of the
processing units. However, a majority of
wastewater gets produced during cleaning
operations, especially between product
changes when different types of products are
produced in a specific production unit and
clean-up operations. Dairy processing effluents
are generated in an intermittent way and the
flow rates of these effluents change
significantly. The quality and quantity of the
product content in the dairy wastewater at a
given time changes with the application of
another technological cycle in the processing
line.

8. CHARACTERISTICS OF WASTE WATER
Dairy wastewater contains milk solids, detergents,
sanitizers, milk wastes, and cleaning water.
It is characterized by high concentrations of nutrients,
and organic and inorganic contents.
Salting activities during cheese production may result in
high salinity levels.
Wastewater may also contain acids, alkali with a number
of active ingredients, and disinfectants, as well as a
significant microbiological load, pathogenic viruses, and
bacteria.
Other wastewater streams include cooling water from

Anaer
obic
* possible production of energy
* low need for land
* power failure or shutdown will not
affect the system
* no energy consumption
* low production of excess sludge
* optimal process temperature is about 30°C
* post-treatment for BOD-removal is often
required
Aerob
ic
* low process temperature
* end treatment of waste-water
* energy need for aeration
* high need for land
* power failure or shutdown will affect the
entire system
* post-treatment for further nutrient removal is
often required
* high production of excess sludge
