UNILEVER STONYFIELD WRING ENERGY FROM WASTEWATER

摘要

A Unilever PLC ice cream factory in Hellendoorn, the Netherlands, this January began partial operation of a bio-digester that not only cleans its waste-water but converts waste products into energy. The bio-digester from Dutch company Paques will cover 40 percent of the ice cream factory's green energy requirements. Construction of the biodigester began last year. The Biopaq AFR (Anaerobic Flotation Reactor) was developed for the anaerobic treatment of waste streams that contain fat, oil and grease or biodegradable solids such as proteins and starch.
