Abstract

The apple supply chain industries use large volumes of water for transportation for the selection and classification processes. This water presents, in a short time, in its quality degradation, presenting color and turbidity altered by the presence of soluble organic matter and being a means of fungi contamination. Sand and activated carbon filtration systems adopted for the treatment of this fluid have been inefficient because they recommend the removal of suspended and non-colloidal material. Therefore, the present work aims to extend the water life cycle in the apple processing industry through the elaboration of an experimental project applying the electrolysis principles followed by a filtration process, based on laboratory conditioning studies. The built system worked continuously at a flow rate of 250 l / h. Color, turbidity, chemical oxygen demand (DQO), sedimentable solids, pH and electrical conductivity were evaluated. There was a 70% efficiency in color removal, 96.4% in turbidity removal, 100% in removal of sedimentable solids, 59.5% reduction in chemical oxygen demand.
