Dairy Effluent Treatment Plant: Tackling High Organic Load Efficiently

Dairy effluent is rich in milk solids, fats, proteins, and sugars, leading to high BOD and COD levels. A Dairy Effluent Treatment Plant is designed to handle this organic load efficiently through a series of physical, biological, and sometimes chemical processes. It reduces pollutants, controls odor, and ensures the treated water is safe for reuse or discharge. By tackling rapid degradation needs, these plants help dairy industries meet environmental regulations and operate sustainably.

Ph
4.5–10.5, acidic or alkaline cleaners
Sludge Volume
Moderate–High, odor and handling issues
Oil and Grease (Fats)
50–600 mg/L, foaming and biological stress
Total Suspended Solids (TSS)
300–3000 mg/L, fats and curds clog systems
Ammonia & Nutrients
10–100 mg/L, causes eutrophication
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)
1000–50000 mg/L, lactose and detergent load
Biological Oxygen Demand
500–30000 mg/L, overloads anaerobic systems

  • Clean Output: Reusable water, free of chemicals and toxins

Dairy Done Differently—With DeurRR

From milk processing to paneer, cheese, or yogurt plants, DeurRR ensures that dairy effluents are no longer a burden—but a clean, circular water resource. No harsh chemicals. No sludge stress. Just nature-backed efficiency.

Dairy Effluent Treatment Plant FAQs

Dairy wastewater contains high levels of milk solids, fats, proteins, detergents, and cleaning agents. These create high COD/BOD, unstable pH, foaming, and sludge-challenging for traditional systems.

DeurRR offers natural solutions using HerbX and ioniX to treat high-organic-load dairy effluents rapidly, reducing COD/BOD by 60-80% without chemicals.

Common pollutants include TSS (300-3,000 mg/L), COD (1,000-50,000 mg/L), BOD (500-30,000 mg/L), oil & grease, fats, and ammonia/nutrients.

Yes. DeurRR systems tolerate pH ranges from 4.5 to 10.5, operating efficiently without pH neutralizers, even during CIP or seasonal fluctuations.

By offering chemical-free treatment, low-sludge output, and odor/pathogen control, DeurRR enables dairies to treat effluents responsibly and reuse water safely.
