I am looking for a cost-effective solution to treat wastewater from molasses. COD is in the range of 40,000 and conductivity is around 18,000-20,000.
Reverse Osmosis is too expensive.
The desired result is COD less than 120 and BOD less than 20.
www.waterwarriorsbiomedia.com is an affordable way to retrofit your system with biomedia.

Dear Dhiresh,
It is importand know how at much the flow is, and how much the disponible area is, and description of the system.
On the other hand if we suppose you are considerating the RO, then we can suppose you have small disponible area. Isn't it?
You can use from treatment lagoons, MBBR, anaerobic systems (AF, UASB), other ones.
Please send us more data to we can give you a better idea.
Regards,

Hi Diresh, a good opportunity to apply an emerging technology derivative of wet air oxidation for high strength organic streams like this one
please feel free to contact me for further discussion in the application
regards

Dhiresh you have a wonderful opportunity!
If you have availability to use an anaerobic digester, your waste molasses is worth gold. Not sure how much volume is produced at your facility, but using this type of waste stream as a food source for biological treatment is worth good money. As biological treatment takes place, the filtrate/ effluent COD for your molasses will be greatly reduced.
Contact other process facilities that use sweeteners like Coke Cola, wine breweries, water treatment chemical companies that have contacts for marketing this type of waste stream/ enhancement for biological treatment.
Keep us posted!

I'm with You Marcus. This kind of substrate could represent fast food for Anaerobic digester/fermenter.

Dear Mr Sampat
Hope you have already installed UASB>Biological Treatment> Settlers ( Multiple step may be required) thereafter Nano system is a feasible option for colour removal and further reduction of COD/BOD. Please provide details of your existing system for us to suggest a treatment scheme mail us at info@dewindia.com

upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) is an cost effective solution for such high BOD and COD reduction

Hi! What is the amount of waste water (m³/h)? We may have a solution for it.

500-800m3/day

Hi, The most practical way to treat this type of wastewater is to use facultative bacteria. Intelligent BioLabel Technology( BLT) can do just that.Contact me at aquaplus.se@gmail.com if you wish.
