Biomar® Biological waste water treatment for chewing gum production
Description of the Plant:
In the production of chewing gums waste water occurs by various cleaning and rinsing procedures. The waste water contains the ingredients of the chewing gums mainly sweeteners, aromatics and etheric oils. The waste water from production is collected in a underground sewer system inside Wrigley?s. By gravity the water flows to the pumping pit, where it is pumped to the mixing and balancing tank. This tank is not only for equalizing but also for pre acidification, an important conditioning step. The biogas is produced in the following anaerobic Biomar® AFB reactor at a temperature of app. 37 °C. To achieve the discharging limits a secondary aerobic treatment is made in the final Biomar® OSB step. The waste water plant has a very good biogas yield, very low sludge production and a stable operation at very little operational man power.
