- Instant Tea, Coffee, and Chicory Processing Plants
Tea and coffee processing industries generate significant amounts of waste, with global tea production alone estimated to exceed 6 million tons annually. This waste, often in the form of spent leaves or grounds, poses environmental challenges and requires effective treatment solutions.
SSP’s waste treatment system begins by collecting the slurry residue produced from our Instant Tea, Instant Coffee, or Instant Chicory Powder plants. This slurry contains residual solids and extracts from the extraction or leaching processes used in tea, coffee, or chicory production.
The slurry is then subjected to a concentration process using our custom-designed forced circulation evaporator. This evaporation-based technology effectively increases the total solids content of the slurry to approximately 95%, minimizing its volume and reducing disposal requirements.
Next, the concentrated slurry is passed through a suitable drying apparatus, where it is transformed into a cake or powder form residue. This residue, rich in organic matter and nutrients, can be utilized as an NPK fertilizer, offering a sustainable solution for waste management and resource recovery.
SSP’s waste treatment process not only addresses the environmental challenges associated with tea, coffee, and chicory production but also contributes to the circular economy by repurposing waste streams into valuable products. Experience the power of innovation and sustainability with SSP’s waste treatment solution for instant tea, coffee, and chicory powder plants.
