Industrial Wastewater Treatment in the Dairy Industry

ZIKO offers enterprises in Lviv and throughout Ukraine integrated solutions for treatment of industrial wastewater generated during dairy production. The equipment is manufactured using modern patented technology, which allows minimization of energy consumption. Integrated wastewater treatment systems for butter plants, cheese factories, and dairy processing facilities are developed in accordance with applicable technical specifications and comply with sanitary and hygienic standards.

Industrial Wastewater from Dairy Processing Enterprises

Contaminated industrial wastewater from dairy processing enterprises can be divided into two main types:

• Low-concentration wastewater — residues of milk and dairy products, as well as chemical agents used for cleaning premises, technological equipment, and containers.
• High-concentration wastewater — by-products generated during the production of various types of cheese and milk sugar (buttermilk, whey).

These dairy by-products saturate the effluent with organic compounds, fats, and proteins. Therefore, treatment of industrial wastewater containing such contaminants is a mandatory stage prior to discharge into water bodies or onto soil.

ORGANIK Integrated Treatment Facilities

The ORGANIK integrated wastewater treatment system enables effective removal of the following contaminants from the effluent:

• dissolved organic substances, including synthetic surfactants, sugars, proteins, and milk fats;
• milk and dairy processing residues, such as cheese fragments, fermented dairy products, butter, ice cream particles, yogurt fillers, fermented milk products, and powdered milk;
• foreign inclusions, including sand particles, pieces of foil, glass fragments, and similar debris;
• dissolved inorganic substances, including soda, acids, and salts;
• chemical contaminants, such as enzymes, phosphorus, manganese, nitrogen compounds, vitamins, and potassium salts.

Wastewater Treatment Methods Used in the ORGANIK System

For high-quality treatment of industrial wastewater, the integrated system consists of five functional blocks:

• Mechanical treatment — removal of fats and coarse contaminants;
• Physicochemical treatment — sedimentation tanks, flotation units, and reagent dosing systems;
• Biological treatment — biofilters, aeration tanks, and discharge of treated water;
• Sludge treatment — filters, filter presses, and dehydrators;
• Turnkey water treatment solutions — efficient, fast, and cost-effective implementation.

These integrated solutions ensure stable compliance with regulatory requirements and reliable operation of wastewater treatment systems in the dairy industry.

ZIKO supplies turnkey solutions for comprehensive treatment of industrial wastewater from dairy processing enterprises, with delivery to any region of Ukraine. The company also offers a wide range of equipment for water preparation and water treatment used in industrial facilities, municipal utilities, and residential applications.
