4. Biosep
TM
An aerobic biological
treatment for
wastewater
treatment and water
reclaim
An innovative solution developed by
Veolia Water Technologies, Biosep™
combines two proven technologies:
• Biological treatment using activated
sludge
• Membrane filtration
Biosep™ produces very high quality water,
fully compliant with the highest standards
for water reuse for irrigation, industrial and
municipal applications.
With more than 120 references worldwide,
Biosep™ is recommended for:
• Significant reduction of carbon, nitrogen
and phosphorus pollution
• High and simultaneous removal of
bacteria depending on the treated water,
completed by downstream disinfection.
Biosep™ Pack - new standard
membrane filtration units
> Flow rates from 4 to 110 m/hr
> Flexible and modular solutions,
manufacturing in-house in the
Veolia workshops
> Guaranteed performances
identical to those of the
conventional Biosep™ process
Biosep™ Pack is added to a biological
aeration tank. The membrane
bioreactor replaces the traditional
settling system and separates
perfectly the purifying biomass
from the treated effluent through
microfiltration. The microfiltered
water is of excellent bacteriological
quality and removal of TSS is
guaranteed at any time. Flow rates
from 4 to 110 m/hr.
Applications
> Small or medium sized industrial
effluent treatment plants (800 to
10,000 PE)
> Temporary solutions during
refurbishment or upgrade work
Biosep™ is sold under the Neosep™
trademark in Japan, the United States,
Australia and New Zealand. ●
5. Woodlands Dairy, 1000+ people, is
one of the largest manufacturers of
UHT milk in South Africa, marketed under
the brand FIRST CHOICE®. Woodlands Dairy
is a local, Eastern Cape processor of farm
fresh milk, who produces and packages high
quality dairy products. Dairy farming methods
should not only have a minimal impact on
the environment but should also be animal
friendly and boost public support for dairy
farming.
The challenge
Veolia Water Technologies South Africa (Pty)
Ltd was awarded the contract by Woodlands
Dairy (Pty) Ltd to provide a viable processing
solution for their growing process effluent
stream. The facility contains a milk sterilisation
and packaging plant as well as a cheese
factory. All process effluent is sent to a
combined effluent sump.
The Solution
Veolia Water Technologies proposed a resource
recovery plant (RRP) capable of processing 1.5
MLD, which will later be upgraded to 2 MLD.
The RRP will make use of Biothane’s state of
the art Memthane® technology, capable of
removing >95% of effluent COD.
A piloting study was performed to provide an
effluent specific treatment facility, ensuring
product performance and client satisfaction. ●
