Dairy

The global demand for dairy products — such as milk, cream, cheese, yogurt, and butter — has challenged dairy processors to increase the supply while reducing their demand on fresh water. With an increase in production comes an increase in wastewater challenges.

Understanding Your Challenges

Dairy processing generates high-strength wastewater high in organics, total suspended solids, and fats, oils, and grease (FOG). This high-strength wastewater is a challenge to treat effectively.

As dairy processors work to scale up production, they face the challenge of maintaining their existing wastewater treatment footprint while reducing freshwater consumption and meeting growing environmental and regulatory demands.
