Aguambiente applications

The treatment of this type of water requires suitable processes since they have lower costs than industrial waste water but, on the other hand, these effluents have a high nitrogen content.

The water from this type of industry generates large amount of solids. The main sources of this waste are the phases of evisceration and blood draining, which contribute a large organic load. The application of our products is ideal for the treatment of this type of water.

The most significant problem in the dairy sector is the high concentration of fats and oils involved. This kind of water involves various pH values and peaks in temperature. These characters make a complex treatment system necessary.

The associated effluents will have a high or low load depending on the specific activity of each company. The processes employed will depend on the output parameters that have to be attained, depending on current legislation.

The waste water from these companies usually has a high demand in oxygen chemistry (DOQ), normally due to proteins and fats. They have high concentrations of chlorine, sulphate and sodium because, in many cases, the processes involve seawater.

Waste water in this sector has a high concentration of heavy metals, oils and products in decomposition. The oils and emulgents lead to foam production at the water treatment plants. The treatment of these oils is very important.

The water from pharmaceutical companies can cause big troubles because of the high variability in their manufacturing processes. Depending on the kind of raw materials used, the effluents may even be toxic, hence why the most conflictive effluents have to be separated from the rest and not to be sent to the general treatment.

The most used techniques to reduce sludge water content include physical-chemical processes, such as flottation or the use of mechanical systems, such as press filters.

The kind of waste water from tanneries has a high salt content that can be diluted, but is hard to eliminate. They can also have a high organic load due to the high dirtiness, including blood, sand and manure. The water itself from these industries can vary a lot from a company to another depending on its actividad. However, a common characteristic is the high content of materials in suspension due to fibres and precipitated proteins.
