Schematic Diagram of Advanced Effluent Treatment Plant in Parboiling and Puffed Rice MIll.
This diagram is for 16 MT per shift capacity Parboiling Rice Mill, which will release 18-20,000 Lt in a batch.
Total processing time is 5-6 hours of which 3 hours are filtration time. Therefore, the system will be ready to take in another batch in 3½ hours. Effectively, this system can process up to 100,000 Lt in 18 hours of a day.
For Puffed Rice Mills, total processing time is 5 hours of which, the filtration time is 3 hours. Therefore, each 2½ hours the system will be able to receive another batch of effluent. In case of Puffed Rice Mills this system can treat 140,000 Lt in 18 hours of a day.
For the mills with higher batch capacity or multiple set of production infrastucture, the sub ground level accumulator should be larger than 5000 Lt to hold the effluent and a 30,000 Lt Treatmet tank should be in place.
Therfore, with small additions of machinary and infrastucture, this system can be upgraded to process 180-240,000 Lt a day or more from a Parboiling Rice MIll.
