Ultrafilter (UF) for membrane bioreactor (MBR) installed to process 400,000 gallons per day for a cheese processing plant.
The processing plant’s existing conventional biological system was unable to process the required volume and unable to meet the increasing qualitative discharge requirements. By converting the plant to a Dynatec membrane bioreactor (MBR), the facility was able to increase the system output while meeting the stricter discharge regulations.
Contaminants removed:
- Biochemical oxygen demand (BOD)
- Phosphorous
- Suspended solids
- Chemical oxygen demand (COD)
- Ammonia
- Fats, oil and grease (FOG)
Dynatec Systems industry-leading tubular ultrafiltration (UF) system is used to treat a broad range of industrial wastewater by separating insoluble components from waste streams. As a cost effective and simple solution for separating insoluble components and colloidal contaminants from a waste stream, wastewater UF offers significant advantages over conventional separation. It is a useful process that does not require chemicals or much space to separate insoluble contaminants.
UF is a pressure-driven process that removes the following from wastewater and other solutions:
- Emulsified oils
- Metal hydroxides
- Colloids
- Emulsions
- Dispersed material
- Suspended solids
- Other large molecular-weight materials
Ultrafiltration systems are also capable of concentrating:
- Bacteria
- Some proteins
- Some dyes
- Colloidal or emulsified components
Ultrafiltration systems excels at the clarification of solutions containing:
- Suspended solids
- Bacteria
- High concentrations of macromolecules including:
- Oil and water
- Fruit juice
- Milk
- Whey
- Electro-coat paints
- Pharmaceuticals
- Poly-vinyl alcohol and indigo
- Potable water
- Tertiary wastewater
Ultrafiltration offers the following advantages over conventional separation:
- No chemical required
- Very little labor required
- Simple mechanical process
- Less sludge
- Ability to concentrate the retentate for beneficial use
- Less space required
- Overall lower operating costs
Tubular Configuration:
- Higher permeate rate
- Lower rates of fouling
- Higher concentration of retentate
- Easier to clean
- Longer membrane life
- Low operating cost
