Abstract:

Systems for treating dairy wastewater. The systems typically include an equalization tank configured to receive a dairy wastewater stream; a flash pump in fluidic communication with the equalization tank to receive the dairy wastewater stream, wherein the dairy wastewater stream includes dairy wastewater and an acid; and a pipe reactor in fluidic communication with the flash pump and configured to receive the pump outlet stream. The pipe reactor is fluidically coupled to a cationic coagulant feed stream conduit to receive a cationic coagulant feed stream and fluidically coupled to a flocculation feed stream conduit to receive the flocculation feed stream. The system also includes a dissolved air flotation unit configured to produce a liquid stream by separating coagulated and/or flocculated materials from a pipe reactor outlet stream.
