WASTE WATER TREATMENT SYSTEM

摘要

A waste water treatment system is presented that for use in reducing pollutant levels in vinaza waste streams, i.e., tequila distillery waste water streams. The system is particularly effective in reducing total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD) values below acceptable limits. The waste water treatment system includes the interconnected components of a coarse suspended solids removal unit, a coarse filtration unit, an ultrafiltration unit, a nanofiltration unit, and a reverse osmosis network. The output from such a system may meet drinking water standards.
