Resumo(s)
Food Processing Industries produce large amounts of wastewater with high
environmental impact. Due to the high content of suspended matter and inadequate pH
value of the wastewater, national laws prohibit direct discharges of the influent to the
environment. This work describes the design and operation of a wastewater treatment
plant installed in the Sortegel food-processing company located in Sortes, Portugal. This
industry uses the water collected from groundwater wells to process raw materials and to
wash the equipments, being the volume of wastewater produced season dependent (80 to
300m3/day). Results show that the implemented wastewater treatment plant and the
automation solutions generate treated effluents that comply with the Portuguese
legislation.
