Dairy Industry is enlisted as one of the top industries among the entire industries food arena. Apart from the high consumption of water in multiple milk products like cheese, curd, butter, yogurt, and dry milk powder; the dairy industry is further involved in some other processes like sanitary, cooling of milk products, cleaning and washing of the processing equipment. During the making and process of these products, a large amount of water is used. But the problem with this water is its reuse and toxicity as it cannot be used again as it is. Dairy wastewater treatment is a big issue as dairy wastewater releases a high amount of Chemical Oxygen Demand, inorganic and organic particles, Biological Oxygen Demand, and nutrients. Such contaminated water if not handled appropriately, pollutes water bodies and largely affects our ecosystem and biodiversity. Dairy Industries play an important role in water pollution and the quality of the water. Thus, Suitable treatments for wastewater are required to use effective disposal methods as a large amount of the water is used during the dairy processing and making of milk-related products and this large amount of water is no longer useful as it has a very high amount of contaminants which make it non-recyclable.

There are various methods to treat this wastewater and it can be utilized again by removing the toxicity of the water like the electrocoagulation process, phytoremediation process, water hyacinth process, aerobic & anaerobic processes, cross flow UF system and reverse osmosis phenomenon & by some electrochemical processes.
We, as GLANCO RECOVER & RECYCLE, are designing Cross flow UF systems and cross-flow RO / NF systems for treating and recycling wastewater from Dairy Factories with the motto of “PUSH THE BUTTON & GO”, as it is ever the most user–friendly technology.
