The impact of climate change on production security is becoming an increasingly important issue worldwide. Security of supply, especially of water, plays a major role.
Alexander Ghazinuri and Niclas Pörtner will discuss possible solutions for a sustainable water supply with experts from the dairy industry. They focus two topics:
From Waste to Energy – converting organic waste, sludge and whey into biogas for use
The dairy industry is a major consumer of fresh water and heat. In addition to efforts to save water in production, the wastewater treatment plant in future could take over tasks in addition to wastewater treatment by purifying a large proportion of the water to a quality that can be used in production and providing biogas to generate heat. The performance of the Biomar® AWR biogas plant will be presented.
Water Recycling – How automation reliable produces drinking water quality and reduces human operational efforts.
Drinking water is generally used for all process steps in milk processing that come into direct or indirect contact with the product. The availability of water is becoming a limiting factor for many dairies in Europe. EnviroChemie shows how treated water of drinking water quality can be produced fully automatically using a sophisticated treatment concept.
