6. .. The total water consumption of the sugar is about 15 m 3 /t of processed sugar beet, while consumption of fresh water is around 0.25-0.4 m 3 /t of refined sugar beet, or even less in modern sugar factories. The water originating from the washing process has a high content of organic pollution due to the presence of sludge and sugar. COD (chemical oxygen demand) of process wastewater from sugar production ranges from 5000- 10000 mg O 2 /l. 1st Students Meeting Waterfriend Characteristics of wastwater from sugar industry

Wastewater characteristics are: COD - 17000 mg O 2 /l Conductivity -5.04 mS/cm Suspended particles - 2.479 g/l Turbidity – 653 NTU pH – 4.13 1st Students Meeting Waterfriend Ceramic membrane GEA 200 nm 5.5x10 -3 m 2 Ceramic membrane GEA 200 nm 5.5x10 -3 m 2 ParametersQ [L/h]P [bar] Varied values 50/100 /150 1/2/3

9. .. Water flux and wastewater permeate flux, depending on the transmembrane pressure at microfiltration on ceramic membrane Waste water permeate flux (L/m 2 h) at a flow rate of 100 l/h is less than the flux of distilled water, and this tendency is maintained as the pressure increases. The decrease means that the flux results in the formation of resistance in microfiltration of wastewater, and to the formation of an additional layer on the surface of the filtration membrane of the compounds present in waste water. 1st Students Meeting Waterfriend

10. .. We have carried out a comparison of microfiltration pre-treatment and directly, during which we received 20% greater flux if we use pre-treatment.
