Established in 1940, Vitasoy International Holdings Ltd is one of the largest beverage producers and distributors in Hong Kong. The Group's two leading brands are VITASOY and VITA. |

|
|
|
|
The client operates a beverage factory in Tuen Mun, New Territories. It has a wastewater treatment plant (WTP) for treating waste liquid before its discharge to public sewers. |
|
|
|
The client wished to enhance the WTP system to further improve its wastewater treatment. |
|
|
|
Preliminary studies showed that there was room for improvement in the WTP's treatment of soluble organic substances. |
|
| HKPC's Services/Solutions |
|
|
|
HKPC obtained information on the quantity and flowing pattern of the wastewater, and collected samples for laboratory analysis to identify the best treatment method. |
|
|
|
The MBR was found to be the most cost-effective solution to address this problem. |
|
|
|
The MBR uses just one-fifth of the space required by conventional biological systems, overcoming the space limitations of the client's factory. |
|
|
|
HKPC conducted an on-site pilot test to demonstrate results of the treatment. The operating costs were acceptable to the client. |
|
|
|
The project schedule was very tight and HKPC completed the design and installation of a full-scale MBR system within 10 months. |
|
| Productivity Achievements |
|
|
|
With the installation of the MBR system, the client has achieved its objective to further improve the WTP's soluble organic substance treatment under space constraints. |
|
|
|
The client is now considering the possibility of recycling the effluent. |
