Design and Implementation of Dairy Industry Wastewater Treatment Plants by Sadrab
Dairy industries, due to their high water consumption and production of wastewater with a high organic load, are among the most challenging sectors in wastewater management. Treating wastewater from these industries is not only essential for environmental protection but also helps reduce costs and enables water reuse. Sadrab Caspian Treatment Company, with over a decade of experience in the water and wastewater treatment industry, offers advanced and sustainable solutions for the design and implementation of dairy industry wastewater treatment plants. By utilizing modern technologies and a specialized team, we assist dairy industries in managing their wastewater responsibly and efficiently.
Challenges of Dairy Industry Wastewater Treatment
The wastewater from dairy industries has unique characteristics that make its treatment complex:
High organic load: Contains large amounts of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates, leading to high BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) and COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand) levels (up to 8000-10,000 mg/L).
Rapid biodegradability: Organic materials quickly decompose, causing odor and pollution.
Chemicals: Includes detergents and disinfectants used in cleaning-in-place (CIP) processes.
pH fluctuations: Changes in pH due to production and cleaning processes.
Whey: One of the most challenging components of dairy wastewater with very high BOD and COD.
These characteristics require advanced treatment systems and precise design, challenges that Sadrab addresses with its expertise.
Sadrab’s Expertise in Dairy Industry Wastewater Treatment
Sadrab Company, with a brilliant track record in designing and implementing wastewater treatment plants, has successfully completed projects for major dairy companies such as Kaleh and Dalleh Shomal. With a deep understanding of the dairy industry’s needs, we provide customized solutions that:

Technologies Used
Sadrab employs advanced technologies for treating dairy industry wastewater. Some of these technologies include:
MBBR (Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor):
This technology uses moving plastic media that provide a large surface area for microorganisms to grow and break down organic matter. MBBR is highly suitable for wastewater with high organic load.
MBR (Membrane Bioreactor):
A combination of biological treatment and membrane filtration that produces high-quality effluent, ideal for reuse.
Extended Aeration Activated Sludge:
A traditional but effective biological method for reducing BOD and COD.
Physical-Chemical Pretreatment:
Includes screening, grease separation, and sedimentation to remove suspended solids and fats before biological treatment.
These technologies are used individually or in combination depending on the wastewater characteristics and customer needs.
