Sugar is one of the most common essential items used today in almost every household. It serves as a taste maker due to which it is used at the time of brewing tea, coffee, and other delicacies. Want to know the benefit associated with wastewater treatment in the sugar processing industry? Here they are!

How is Sugar Made?

Sugar is made from sugarcane that comprises a high percentage of water. During the production, wastewater is produced at a high rate. The process does not conclude here! More water is required for carrying out further processes. Thus, discharging wastewater may pollute the ecosystem. Also, it will increase the dependency on other sources of clean water.

Thus, the treatment related to the recycling of wastewater in such a situation will prove to be highly beneficial. Do you know why sugar-producing companies are installing wastewater treatment systems in their areas? Yes, for producing freshwater for further procedure.

Additional Benefits of Wastewater Treatment in Sugar Processing

With the help of wastewater treatment, the fresh water produced can be utilized for removing color from raw sugar. With the ultrafiltration process being carried out during the treatment, the pure water being produced may be helpful in the crystallization of purified juice.

Get Rid of Nitrogen Compounds

During wastewater treatment, the combination of nitrification and de-nitrification processes helps in removing nitrogen compounds from the water. Finally, the product obtained can be utilized for further processes related to sugar production.

Membrane solution produced by the wastewater treatment in the sugar industry is also helpful in carrying out additional activities including clarification and fixing the concentration of the juice. As the wastewater undergoes several procedures including reverse osmosis and ultrafiltration, pure water is finally obtained for further usage.
