2 |
|
|
<p>ANAMET, a bio-treatment plant for industrial waste water, has been operating |
3 |
|
|
since 1993 within PLIVA's production complex at Savski Marof.</p> |
4 |
|
|
<p>This two-step anaerobic-aerobic bio-treatment plant is used for the loaded |
5 |
|
|
waste water generated by yeast production. It is equally suitable for treating |
6 |
|
|
pre-treated waste water from PLIVA's production at this site.</p> |
7 |
|
|
<p>An approved laboratory for the testing and monitoring of water quality is also |
8 |
|
|
part of ANAMET's functionality, and ANAMET will soon expand its scope, offering |
9 |
|
|
environmental analyses to the entire company.</p> |

|
<p><b>A Brief look at the Process</b></p> |
11 |
|
|
<p>In the first step (anaerobic), organic matter from the incoming waste water |
12 |
|
|
comes in contact with anaerobic microorganisms and undergoes biodegradation |
13 |
|
|
into anaerobic bio-mass and biogas. The reduction in the COD and BOD5 loads |
14 |
|
|
at this step is around 65-70%, i.e. approximately 90-95%.</p> |
15 |
|
|
<p>During the second step (aerobic), oxygen brought in by air comes in contact |
16 |
|
|
with aerobic organisms and degrades the remaining organic matter from waste |
17 |
|
|
water, producing an aerobic bio-mass and carbon dioxide. The total final reduction |
18 |
|
|
in the COD and BOD5 load is 75-80%, i. e. 95-99%. Generated biogas is continuously |
19 |
|
|
incinerated by gas flame. The excess bio-mass from the plant is dehydrated in |
20 |
|
|
the plant centrifuge and disposed of at Jakusevac, the municipal landfill.</p> |
21 |
|
|
<p>Planned investments into the plant will ensure its continual technical-technological |
22 |
|
|
upgrading in performance and safety, environmental protection in general, and |
23 |
|
|
the protection of the work environment and work conditions.</p> |
