Description: Fruit processing is an extremely water-intensive industry, typically producing large volumes of colloidal, high-strength wastewater. If organics, nutrients and other pollutants found in this wastewater are not removed prior to discharge, they pose a threat to the health of humans, ecosystems, and the overall environment. The characteristics of fruit processing wastewater varies depending on the produce being treated, and the operations contributing to the wastewater stream such as pressing, transport, cleaning and sanitization. With global populations surging, the demand for clean water continues to increase, in consequence reducing its availability and affordability for industrial use. Many fruit processing facilities also do not have access to municipal water, forcing collection through other means, making supply costs a limitation. For these reasons, many facilities have adopted in-house reuse and recycling treatment operations, which can include membrane bioreactors (MBRs), ultrafiltration and microfiltration, as well as reverse-osmosis treatment.
