Alvest - Food Plant Wastewater Treatment and Recycling System

Wastewater generated by food processing operations at this plant were previously discharged as sewage. However, the plant has undertaken to treat the wastewater in a membrane bioreactor and reuse the treated water for washing and cooling. In addition, some of the treated water is being RO treated and reused as boiler water. This has helped to reduce annual water service charges at the plant by about ¥12 million.
