CONDENSATE POLISHING UNIT



WTE has enabled sugar & distillery factories to recycle 90-95% effluent water and achieve total water management through resource conservation, reutilisation, and recycling, wherein “Zero water intake” was achieved practically to meet the process demand.

Treatment of the Condensate

01.  Physical Treatment

Physical Treatment is a process in which the pollutants are mechanically removed from the wastewater.Most common processes under physical treatment are screening, sedimentation, micro-, ultra- and nanofiltration, etc. Some other physical processes like adsorption and reverse osmosis can be used to treat the process condensate. Activated carbon and zeolite- based adsorption is widely used in water treatment to remove trace organic –inorganic substances, chemicals, microorganisms, odor and toxins. Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a process which uses a partially permeable membrane and is currently used by many sugar factories and other industries. RO may be used to treat the condensate as the process is effective for the removal of sugars, salts and metal ions. But organic acids present in the condensate may not be removed by RO process.

02.  Biological Treatment

Biological wastewater treatment harnesses the action microorganisms using an effective system to clean water for proper disposal or recycle. Sugar mills can adopt aerobic treatment and lagoons for the treatment of process condensate. Lagoons, which use natural microbes from surroundings, typically occupy large area, have high retention time and less efficient. Furthermore, it leads to accumulation of sulfides which turn the water black. Aerobic treatment processes include aeration tanks, oxidation ditches, activated sludge, trickling filters, etc. The ‘activated sludge’ process, which may be suitable for treating low strength wastewater streams such as process condensate. An advantage of using biological treatment is that apart from reducing COD/BOD levels, it can simultaneously also remove other inorganic pollutants such as sulphates, nitrates, ammonia and chlorides

03.  Chemical Treatment

Chemical methods include chemical separation such precipitation, coagulation, flocculation, solvent extraction, ion-exchange process and chemical oxidation, and other chemical reactions which destroy or remove the pollutants from wastewater. Most of the chemical separation process may not be techno-economically suitable for treatment of sugar mill process condensate due its inherent characteristics. Possibly, ion-exchange process can be used to treat the condensate although it is more suitable for water softening and metal ions removal.

Steam condensate will be recycled back as a boiler feed water to sugar factory.

Product Description

Degeneration of the condensate increases microbial contamination. Due to these reasons, the condensate as such is not reusable in the mill. Currently many sugar mills face challenges in managing the process condensate due to lack of dedicated treatment solutions. Condensate polishing typically involves Ion Exchange technology for the removal of sugar traces, or traces of dissolved minerals and suspended matter.

02

Functionality

Wastewater stream in sugar mill is the ‘process condensate’ which is a waste effluent from the syrup boiling and vacuum pan sections of the mill. The condensate consists of volatile organic-inorganic compounds and traces of sugar due to overloading of the evaporators, vacuum pans and extensive boiling of syrup, which further increases the pollutant ‘strength’ of the condensate.
The COD/ BOD is mostly due to sugars and organic acids, along with traces of other organic compounds such as phenolics. The condensate also consists of significant quantities of sulfides. Other parameters like hardness, alkalinity, chlorides, and total dissolved solids are generally found within the acceptable limits for reuse. After proper treatment, the condensate may be used for various unit applications. Major use of the recycled condensate can be as make-up water in cooling tower and for vapor cooling in injection channels.
