    This case study describes the effluent treatment needs of a leading South Indian fruit processing company. The company processes fruits to produce purees and concentrates. Their effluent has high levels of BOD, COD, TSS, and oil/grease. The treatment plant was unable to operate continuously due to the seasonal nature of fruit processing. Amalgam Biotech recommended using their Bacta Cult product to develop biomass in the aeration tank quickly. This allowed the plant to start treating effluent at full capacity within 15 days and maintain stabilization over 60 days of continuous operation. Bacta Cult helped reduce COD from 2000 mg/L to 180 mg/L and BOD from 600 mg/L

    CLIENT PROFILE

    Client is recognized as the forerunner in being the leading manufacturers and exporters of fruit
    purees and concentrates in South India. Ever since produced the finest and purest fruit purees and
    concentrate in India. This Company started its operations in the year 1968. It has risen to be the
    largest fruit supply company in India, supplying fruits to the entire fruit processing industry for
    the last four decades even to the international markets. The global clientele includes Africa, Asia,
    America and Europe. The plant is Located in Chittor (Andhra Pradesh). Capacity of its effluent
    treatment plant is 250KLD.

    TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY

    1 Bar Screen To remove any free floating debris.

    2 Oil & Grease Chamber To remove any free floating oil & grease.

    3 Equalization tank To equalize the effluent quantitatively &


    qualitatively.
    4 Flash mixing tank For rapid & uniform mixing of dosing Chemicals
    with the effluent.

    5 Flocculation tank For coagulation and flocculation of solids.

    6 Primary Tube settler tank To remove the flocs formed.

    7 MBBR reactor Treatment of organic matter to reduce BOD/COD


    aerobically by using Bacta Cult.

    8 Secondary Tube settler tank To remove the biological solids generated.

    9 Filter feed tank For water storage & disinfection.

    10 DMF & ACF Filters For removal of suspended solids, Odor & Color.

    11 Sludge sump To collect the thickened sludge.

    12 Filter press For mechanical dewatering of sludge

    PROBLEMS OBSERVED AND SOLUTION


    As the plant operation is based on season of fruits, hence it operates only six months a year.
    Bacteria cannot survive for these six months due to lack of BOD, so client has to re-commission
    the plant. We recommend to use Bacta Cult for faster generation of MLSS.

    Result:-

    After complete biomass developed in aeration tank.

    After BactaCult TM Aerobic

    The MLSS growth started visible on 4th day and plant was treating on full capacity on 15th day.
    We continued it for 60 days for complete stabilization of biological system.
