Seasonal impact of dairy farm effluent on an SBR treatment plant
Annual Conference
❄
The seasonal impact of dairy factory effluent, on the wastewater treatment plant receiving it, has been studied over several years. The SBR type WWTP receives stable quantities and strengths of predominantly domestic sewage, from the surrounding community, year around. In addition seasonally fluctuating loads of factory waste are received. The dairy factory waste can increase the daily organic loading many-fold due to its high strength, disproportionate to its impact on plant flow.
