General techniques to reduce water consumption and the volume of waste water discharged are given in Section 1.4 of these BAT conclusions. Indicative environmental performance levels are presented in the table below.
Table 13
Indicative environmental performance levels for specific waste water discharge
| The specific waste water discharge level may not apply to the production of potato flakes and powder. | ||
| The specific waste water discharge level may not apply to the production of tomato powder. | ||
| Specific process | Unit | Specific waste water discharge (yearly average) |
|---|---|---|
| Potato processing (excluding starch production) | m3/tonne of products | 4,0-6,0 f1 |
| Tomato processing when water recycling is possible | 8,0-10,0 f2 | |
