ABSTRACT
The AQUAREL project was
launched in 2015 by the CNIEL (French Dairy Interbranch Organization) to propose solutions to dairy processors for the development of water reuse
scenarios on their plants. The project focused particularly on the valorization
of water from milk which is water obtained during concentration and evaporation
processes of milk and its by-products. Firstly, a literature review was done to
identify the current uses of water from milk on French plants but also on
foreign sites, the technologies used to treat it and the regulations related to
water reuse in food industry. Secondly, a field survey was led to establish an
overview of the water consumptions and practices existing on the plants. Then,
samples were collected on five dairy plants in order to determine the
physico-chemical and microbiological composition of water from milk. Thus, the
important collection of results obtained was used as a basis for exchanges with
water treatment equipment suppliers in order to identify the suitable
technologies to treat and reuse water from milk. Two treatment channels were
identified, each of them including a filtration and a disinfection step. All this work led to the
writing of reports which are now available for the dairy sector professionals.
