6 Our technologies Partner of your projects Aerobic and Chemical-Physical plants Thanks to its in depth knowledge of the different production cycles of the food and beverage industry, VWS Italia has extensive experience in the design and installation of turnkey plants for wastewater treatment. The numerous references in this important market and the studies about its volumes and typologies requirements have widened the VWS capacity to offer plant engineering technologies which range from traditional to most modern and innovative applications that are able to achieve treatment yields close to 98%. The ease of management and the lay-out of the plants, designed according to Clients needs, together with the target to supply excellent solutions from a technical, operational and economic point of view, make VWS Italia plants the best wastewater treatment systems for the food and beverage sector. Anaerobic plants (BIOGAS) VWS Italia anaerobic plants for the production of biogas from biomasses have been developed utilising the best available technologies according to requirements such as yield, operational continuity and reliability. Anaerobic plants specifics concern: the high biomasses mixing; the reactors volumetric ratios (diameter and height) to facilitate mixing and to avoid segregation, stratification and solids aggregation phenomena; the increase in the anaerobic sludge residence time compared to the hydraulic residence time; the external management, easy to maintain, of all the equipments; the use of gasometers to assure the adequate biogas quantity at constant pressure; a strong hydrolysis phase before the anaerobic digestion aimed at making the biomasses more degradable.

7 EVALED Evaporation technologies Evaporators for industrial waste and process water treatment, with capacity up to 250 tons of distillate/24h. Totally computer-based for a continuous running without supervision, the EVALED allow rather high concentration ratios, good separation levels as well as the recycling and the reduction of the volumes to dispose. Depending on the production process, in some case, the concentrate obtained from the superconcentration steps can be reused in agriculture and zootechny. EVALED are available in three different series using three different technologies: EVALED PC Heat pump vacuum evaporators EVALED AC Hot/cold water vacuum evaporators EVALED RV Forced circulation MVR evaporators IDRAFLOT Flotation technologies Dissolved air flotation units for solid/liquid separation, highly efficient and able to assure an optimum and uniform air/water mixing along the whole surface of the unit. IDRAFLOT flotation units surpass the traditional DAF systems achieving such a clarification and thickening ratio which can be defined as ultraflotation, with a considerable removal efficiency in COD, suspended solids and fats. Their modular and compact structure assures the flexibility required to face seasonal production peaks.
