5. Drying
Conventional Waste Sources:
• Unused Rework powder
• Caustic/Acid waste from CIP
• High strength wastewater BOD/COD/Nutrients rich
wastewater from raw materials
• Oil and grease
• Cleaning agents (sterbac, divosan, divoquat, etc.)

7. Drum Screen
Domestic and plant wastewater enters the rotating drum
screen which filters any incoming trash or serve as grit
removal. Drum screened wastewater enters the influent
pump station which contains pumps to transfers the
wastewater to the equalization tank.

8. Equalization Tank
Wastewater is neutralized and equalized in the equalization tank.
Sulfuric acid and caustic soda are used to neutralize the pH. Antifoam
is also used.
AIR STRIPPING:
Recirculation pumps together with the equalization blowers are used to
efficiently mix and aerate the contents of the equalization tank and keep
it aerobic. Anaerobic would produce H2S and gaseous ammonia.

9. Coagulation/Flocculation/ Dissolve Air
Floatation
Chemical treatment via coagulation and
flocculation combined with
dissolved air flotation reduces the
COD of the wastewater by roughly 30 to 40%. The DAF
float/sludge is transferred to the DAF sludge tank which is
further transported via the DAF sludge/solids pumps to the
sludge holding tank. Treated DAF effluent is fed to aeration
tanks. The DAF serves as a pre-treatment to the MBR.
Chemicals needed: Pacl, polymer
Air is the driving force

14. Membrane Bioreactor
The MBR system comes with a cooling package. The chillers together
with the heat exchanger regulate the temperature of the bioreactor
mixed liquor before feeding to the membrane tanks. Needs antifoam.
17. Sludge Holding Tank
The sludge holding receives sludge from WAS (waste
activated sludge) from the MBR and sludge from the DAF
(dissolved air flotation) floatation and feeds to the
decanting centrifuge. SHT needs polymer and antifoam.
18. Decanting Centrifuge
The centrifuge dewaters DAF float and waste activated
sludge from the MBR. It uses centrifugal force to separate
the solids efficiently. Needs polymer.
