| dc.description.abstract | A dairy company has made a 40-milliondollar investment these past years in a new
production line to offer new products. One of the
problems that needs to be solved is what to do with
the new amount of processed water that goes to the
water treatment plant. A solution that includes
installation of equipment for the facility is necessary
to comply with local and federal agency guidelines
and to increase efficiency so that the plant can treat
more than 120,000 gpd of wastewater and lower cost
in haulage. After taking into consideration all the
possibilities to improve the water treatment plant
and after the design analysis, a sequencing batch
reactor tank and a dissolved air flotation unit are the
best options to respond to the problem, which will
result in a net savings of $103,000.
