Dairy plants are facilities that transform raw milk into various consumable dairy products such as milk beverages, yogurt, ice cream, cheese and butter.
Processing mostly milk from cows, goats, sheep, they follow strict regulations designed to make sure all milk products are safe and nutritious, with a good shelf life.
MILK PLANT PROCESSING
Milk processing facilities perform the following tasks:
– Testing: When arriving at the dairy factory, the milk is tested according to quality and safety guidelines.
Separation: The cream is separated from the milk using a separator, refined to specific %, to create whole, low-fat, and skim milk.
– Pasteurization: It is heated with a High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization process to remove any toxic bacteria.
– Homogenization: High pressure is used to create a smooth texture and consistent flavor.
– Culturing: Bacteria cultures are added to create cheese, yogurt and sour cream.
– Evaporation: Liquid is removed to create condensed milk, evaporated milk, or milk powder.
– Storage: Milk products are packaged and stored at the facility.
– Distribution: They are transported and delivered to grocery stores with refrigerated trucks.
DAF UNITS APPLICATION FOR MILK PLANT WASTEWATER
Aqualitec provides advanced DAF systems engineered for milk plant wastewater with medium to high solids loading. Our Deltec and Gamtec DAF units combine compact design, durable stainless-steel construction, and innovative low-friction skimmer technology for reliable, low-maintenance performance.
Deltec DAF Units: Ideal for medium-polluted wastewater (COD up to 4,000 mg/l). Featuring the Platepack System, efficient sludge discharge by gravity, and a compact footprint, Delta units offer high separation performance with minimal maintenance. Units up to 150 m³/h are container-transportable.
Gamtec DAF Units: Designed for larger projects and higher flows (up to 1,000 m³/h), Gamma systems handle wastewater with COD up to 10,000 mg/l. Built with rectangular concrete tanks and Kemeo internals, they include optional bottom skimmers, efficient saturated water supply, and stainless-steel parts suitable for sea container transport.
With superior sludge removal, small footprint, and cost-effective operation, Aqualitec’s DAF units deliver reliable wastewater treatment solutions tailored for the dairy and food industry.
