Modern industrial effluent treatment in Malaysia

With the second industrial effluent treatment plant for the food & beverage industry in Malaysia, WEHRLE solidifies its entry into this highly competitive market. A BIOMEMBRAT® High-Performance MBR will treat effluent from the number 1 Italian jam producer Menz & Gasser in a greenfield factory in Kuala Lumpur.

Where effluent is as easy to treat as food & beverage wastewater and a market as competitive and price sensitive as in this region, WEHRLE’s expertise as leader in treatment plants for complex wastewaters and landfill leachate is certainly not a mandatory requirement for this project. But, the process technologies WEHRLE had developed for such harsh applications bring unique benefits also in much simpler cases, as this one is. Features like flexible, computer assisted plant operation to cope with changing effluent characteristics, modularity for simple future extensions, space-saving plant design, low chemical consumption and, most important, low operation costs are typical for WEHRLE plants.

For Menz & Gasser, this is the first factory outside Italy and therefore under exceptionally careful planning and consideration. WEHRLE succeeded against four strong competitors due to the practical, simple and reliable plant operation and a convincing, cost-effective solution to allow future upgrades to follow the client’s growth plans.

By including WEHRLE’s partner in Malaysia, EnviroServe, into this project, it was possible to provide the client with an optimized price/performance package, utilizing local contents and services and reducing the higher priced European content to a minimum. The plant treats 200 m³/d with 8,200 mg/l COD to a level that is reliably kept within the local regulations for a direct discharge into the nature.
