GLRPPR Sector Resource: Water and Wastewater Management in a Dairy Processing Plant
Title: Water and Wastewater Management in a Dairy Processing Plant
Abstract:
A dairy plant's waste load can be decreased substantially by controlling the amount of water used and reducing the amount of product lost into the sewer. Stopping pollution at its source is less expensive and more practical than end-of-pipe waste treatment. The Giant Foods program was very effective. BOD5 loading was cut by one-third and water consumption by one-fourth when water and waste reduction efforts were implemented.
Collecting any unusable material in barrels for use as animal feed was found to be one of the best
methods for preventing pollution
