Abstract
This work presents the application of a new system for wastewater treatment in the food industry, which is based in the injection of pure oxygen in the homogenization tank of a traditional physicochemical treatment. This system operates stably under a wide variety of both input chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids (TSS). Compared with the previous physicochemical system, it has been proved that the new one is more efficient and implies important economic savings for the dairy. Compared with a traditional anaerobic treatment, it has been shown that the oxygen injection system avoids the relatively high costs associated to the initial investment and operating costs and is environmentally friendlier. In this work it is shown that oxygen injection may be an interesting option for the dairy industry wastewater treatment.
