ABSTRACT:
A process is disclosed for treating food wastewaters by acidifying to a low pH, adding an alginate, and, preferably, adding lime to a pH of at least 7.0, without adding iron or aluminum to assist in coagulation and flocculation of the wastewater. A floc is formed at acid pH in some wastewaters and at neutral to alkaline pH in other wastewaters treated with lime. After recovery of the floc as a sludge, the process provides at least about 70% removals of Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) at reasonable costs and with negligible formation of free fatty acids in the resulting sludge.
