Success Story

AVES Production Plant for Oil - Design and Construction of a Wastewater Treatment Plant in Mersin - Turkey

Client

Aves Enerji Yağ ve Gıda San. A.Ş - Mersin - Turkey

Project

Design and construction of a wastewater treatment plant for the production of edible oil (on-site construction measures) in Mersin - Turkey

Status

02/2019

Completed

Planning and construction

Design would be done according to different kinds of vegetable oil production waste water. Site sampling, analyzing and modelling executed for proper solutions and final efficient design.

PWT solution

After site sampling from each different production waste water, depending on analysis and modelling, PWT offered a new design to comply with discharge limits.

Precipitation, flocculation, sedimentation

Activated sludge process

Aves, Turkey

Advantages

After completion and start up of the new wwtp

Aves Oil factory can comply with discharge limits. Instead of getting penalty from local authorities.
Aves reduced their chemical comsumption.
Aves can process fat acids (produces very high polutants.for e.g. COD : 25.000 mg/lt) in their factory which gains them additional profit from its sales.
