Cheese and Dairy > Liquid/Solids Separation > Biological Treatment > Nutrient Removal > Sludge Handling

The highly variable nature of dairy wastewaters in terms of volumes, flow rates, pH, organic and suspended solids content makes the choice of an effective wastewater treatment regime difficult. Without proper treatment, these wastewaters can pose potential environmental hazards. As regulations become more stringent and surcharges to dispose of dairy wastewater become more expensive, selected treatment should meet the required demands and reduce associated costs at the same time.
