It’s critical for dairy operations to avoid wasting valuable milk


not tell why, and from where too much milk product is getting flushed out with the wastewater. “As our technology can supervise all the draining points in real-time, it can keep track of the liquids in the pipes and show exactly where the leakage is,” Tielinen says. “Tis makes it possible to address the problem at the point of origin, saving huge amounts of milk and money.” In addition to directly improving the


profitability of a dairy plant, reducing the milk waste also lowers the cost of wastewater treatment and helps dairies to achieve their environmental goals. “Most of the carbon dioxide generated


in a dairy production originates from the stages before the milk even arrives at the dairy,” Tielinen explains. “Tat is why it is essential to not waste valuable milk in the dairies’ processing operations. If milk-based products are lost in a dairy, a replacement amount of milk will have to be produced and transported to the dairy, which will produce even more carbon dioxide emissions.”
