Objective
Membrane BioReactor installation and usage of clean technologies are result of reflexion about global water gestion. This will allow to:
- respect the environment by limiting the pollution discharged (SS, COD, TKN) and while complying with the new reglementation,
- save the water resources, thanks recycling, since the global water consumption is reduced to a third to a third of initial jobsite consumption,
- limit waste by reducing the excess sludge production.
In Southern France, in Aramon, The SANOFI company operates a pharmaceuticals manufacturing plant.
The significant up-scaling of the production capacity of the site led to a comprehensive water management, with the objectives of:
- achieving a considerable reduction in water consumption and pollutant discharge,
- improving the quality of discharged effluents and enhancing the reliability of the treatment line,
- recycling treated effluent.
The project submitted features four main aspects:
1. The construction of a waste water treatment plant using the Membrane Bioreactor (BRM-technique).
2. The recycling of heated process waters will permit a reduction in water consumption from the current 6,000 m3/d to about 2,000 m3/D, through the use of cooling loops.
3. The implementation of clean technologies in the form of 'dry' vacuum pumps and the use of a single liquid coolant. This type of installation generates virtually no effluents, and can reduce water consumption by up to 2,000 m3/d.
4. The recycling of treated water made possible by the quality of the effluents treated using the BRM, leading to recirculation of 1,000 m3/d of the 1,500 m3 discharged daily by the plant.
All these measures will reduce water consumption from its current level of 6,000 m3/t of manufactured products to a mere 1,500 m3/t.
