Odour reduction
The challenge:
Binnorie Dairy produces a range of cheeses, specialising in soft cheese. The company’s products have won top awards around the world. In November 2012, Binnorie Dairy installed its first BioGill. The treatment objective was to reduce odour at the initial collection point and through the existing storage pond. The company had previously installed a below ground treatment unit which was ineffective in reducing the odour.
The solution:
One BioGill treatment core containing 250m² of membrane was installed over the existing storage tank. Wastewater from the cheese-making process is pumped from this tank to the top of the BioGill and then gravity fed down the gills.
The result:
The result has been a dramatic reduction in odour. In addition, there has been a significant improvement in the water quality within the storage pond. Binnorie Dairy has since increased production and installed a second BioGill to help treat the additional wastewater.
