A food manufacturer that experiences daily variability in wastewater effluents needed to improve its chemical water treatment package to meet municipal regulations. Previous clarification packages were abandoned due to high costs and ineffective contaminant removal. They were looking for a low maintenance, reliable separation package that could be implemented in their existing treatment infrastructure including two mix tanks and dissolved air flotation (DAF). Their desired treatment process would minimize oxidant load for soluble BOD/COD removal downstream.
CarboNet SimpleFloc™ at Work
Testing found that a combination of ACH and CarboNet SimpleFloc™ provided the most consistent and economical treatment results. This included:
- Strong, rapid flocculation
- Highly improved water clarity
- Effective treatment of effluent waters ranging from pH 3 - 10, where the highest separation efficiency occurred at pH 6
- Turbidity reduction by up to 99.4%
