Elbic Series: Microbial Wastewater Treatment Solutions for Food Industry
I
n 1996, Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) system was introduced in Japan. In this system, each step of food production process is scientifically analyzed for possible hazards to ensure product safety. This system, however,
has increased the amount of detergents and pesticides used during food processing. The excessive amount of chemicals in wastewater resulted in weakening and killing of microbes, which decompose organic matters into carbon dioxide, water, and ammonia in the following activated sludge process. To address this issue, HINODE SANGYO Co., Ltd. has developed multiple solutions that enhance growth and use of microbes.
Major Features and Advantages I. ElbicNEOTM ElbicNEOTM is an agent that provides Bacillus subtilis strains to wastewater. Wastewater from food or beverage factories contains organic matters, detergents, pesticides, and rinse water. Microbes in this wastewater are unable to survive due to lack of dissolved oxygen. Organic matters are, therefore, left untreated. The microbes in ElbicNEOTM (ElbicNEO microbes) can survive in this harsh environment by forming spores to resist chemicals, heat, and pH. They grow fast and double their number every 20 minutes. Continuous injection of ElbicNEOTM allows stable and consistent treatment of wastewater, regardless of its characteristics. ElbicNEO microbes decompose proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates and inhibit the growth of coliforms. ElbicNEOTM is effective in wastewater of low oxygen concentration. II. ElbicNEO IncubatorTM The ElbicNEO microbes can be incubated in a fully automated device called ElbicNEO IncubatorTM . This incubator provides optimal conditions for the microbes to grow. It requires clean tap water to operate and increases the microbial population by 25 times. Growing ElbicNEOTM microbes in this incubator will significantly reduce the cost to purchase the strains. The microbes are automatically injected into wastewater treatment plants. ElbicNEO IncubatorTM is especially useful in treating wastewater containing a large amount of fat and chemicals because it can continuously provide a lot of microbes. For this reason, the incubator has been installed in dairy and other food processing factories, which extensively produce dairy cream and shortening. III. Two-Step System: ElbicYoutry-1TM & ElbicBZ-OTM A large amount of lipid (oils and fats) is found in wastewater from food and beverage factories. In wastewater treatment systems, however, decomposing lipids is challenging. Effective treatment of lipids proposed by the company involves two steps; 1) emulsification and dispersion, and 2) enzymatic hydrolysis. In the first step, ElbicYoutry-1TM , a specially developed non-toxic surfactant, is used. When the surfactant is injected into a water tank via Automatic Injection Device, it reduces the surface tension of water and quickly disperses lipids into small particles. In the second step, the wastewater is transferred to an aeration tank, and ElbicBZ-OTM is injected. ElbicBZ-OTM is a family of Bacillus subtilis and contains highly active enzymes (lipase and phospholipase). With the enzymes, lipids are broken down into free fatty acids and glycerin, which can be digested in the activated sludge. The Elbic Series is a practical wastewater treatment solution in food processing industry.
