monitor at major drinks factory
T
he installation of a HACH
LANGE BioTector continuous
TOC (Total Organic Carbon)
monitor to police the front
end of Cobevco’s wastewater treatment
plant has enabled tight control of
the treatment process. Delivering
results 20 times faster than laboratory
techniques, the monitor at the Elton
facility in Cheshire provides advance
notice of organic overload so that the
plant is able to instantly divert carbonrich waste and protect the treatment
process.
The recently rebranded Cobevco filling
division operates a state of the art
bottle filling and wastewater treatment
plant at their manufacturing site at
Elton in Cheshire, which includes a
large biological wastewater treatment
facility, operating 24/7 between 3
staggered Sequential Batch Reactors
(SBR). This process relies on the
activity of bacteria which break down
the organic content in the waste
stream. However, if the organic load
is too strong or too weak, the bacteria
are unable to function efficiently, so
monitoring is necessary.
Historically, laboratory analysis has
taken too long to allow proactive
intervention and the ability to measure
organic load continuously has not been
possible because instruments have
been unable to cope with the strength
of the effluent without filtration.
However, the patented two-stage
chemical oxidation process employed
by the BioTector completely resolves
this problem and has enabled Cobevco
to protect the treatment plant and
dramatically improve efficiency.

Waste Managers Extend
Oil Recovery Operation
Independent waste management company
Cleansing Service Group (CSG) is extending its
national network of specialist oil recovery and
aqueous treatment plants with the opening of a
new facility at Worcester.
The company says it will begin treatment of
waste at the site – a former hazardous waste
transfer station purchased from Augean last year
– in October following a £200,000-plus infrastructure upgrade to bring
facilities up to meet CIRIA’s pollution prevention containment standard
736 and make them suitable for waste treatment.
CSG hopes to be receiving and treating more than 150 tonnes of oily
water waste and aqueous waste per day at the new facility.
