High TDS in Vegetable Processing Effluent

Published on April 23, 2017 16:51 by Pramod Kumar in Technology

We are running a vegetable processing industry and our process includes washing gherkins and vegetables.

The effluent with initial TDS of 3200 ppm is directed to an effluent treatment plant where it is aerated and passed through the sand filter. The TDS then drops to around 2900 ppm which is very high.

How can we reduce the TDS to less than 1000 ppm?
