EPC project for the wastewater management of a dairy plant
Holubka, Oleksandr ; Procházková, Michaela (referee) ; Horňák, David (advisor)
The dairy industry is one of the sectors producing high amounts of wastewater with significant levels of pollution. Typically, this water is discharged into the sewage system after preliminary treatment. However, it is now possible to recycle a large portion of this wastewater, and, as a result, reduce the operating costs. This work focuses on designing an appropriate water recycling technology to reduce operating costs and subsequently preparing the basic documents for the implementation of an EPC project for the selected design. Based on conducted research, reverse osmosis was chosen as a suitable process for wastewater treatment. Operational and investment costs were calculated for membrane technologies using reverse osmosis, based on which the profitability of the proposed design was determined. Furthermore, a process flow diagram and a piping & instrumentation diagram were created, risk management was conducted, and a project timeline was developed. Future work could focus on a specific industrial operation, allowing for the acquisition of real data and more precise economic evaluation.
