Taneco developed a solution for potato and vegetable processors to recycle wash water in a simple, compact and affordable way. The Taneco Agri WWT 20 installation treats wash water and saves up to 95% of water. AGRO WWT 20
Recycling of Wash Water for Potato and Vegetable Processing with the AGRO WWT 20
The installation processes water flows up to 35 m³/hour, originating from the washing of potatoes and vegetables. The complete system is housed in two stacked 20 ft containers, requiring less than 20 m² of floor space.
Configuration of the Taneco AGF WWT 20
The installation consists of the following components:
– Circulation classifier
– Sand separator
– Sludge classifier
– Sludge dewatering system
The Process: Step by Step
1. Inlet of Wash Water
The unit is equipped with connections for the inlet and outlet of wash water, as well as for clean water.
The water from the washers enters through the circulation classifier, where sand settles out of the wash water.
2. Sand Separation
The settled sand is pumped to the sand separator. Here, solid particles down to 25 microns are separated using hydrocyclones.
The dewatering screen dewaters these solids to a dry matter content of approximately 75%.
3. Sludge Separation
The de-sanded water flows into the sludge classifier. With a small addition of polymer, the sludge particles settle quickly and efficiently.
4. Dewatering and Return Flow
The sludge dewatering system separates the sludge from the wash water.
The cleaned water is then returned to the washers. Sand and sludge are discharged via a conveyor belt.
