Industrial Wastewater Treatment Success Stories
Pizza Dough Manufacturer - $70,000 per year Savings
A facility located in California manufactures pizza
shells and the resultant wastewater was extremely
high in total suspended solids (TSS) and
biochemical oxygen demand (BOD). The company
had reached its maximum discharge allowance,
but wanted to expand their capacity. They were
paying enormous surcharges and to expand, as
they wanted, would have cost them an additional
huge amount in surcharges on the next tier of
surcharges. In addition to the above requirements,
they had limited space to accommodate a
processing system.
Integrated Engineers was brought in to evaluate their problem and was able to solve it with the addition of a 20 gallons per minute continuous flow Flocculation Unit that utilizes Floccin™ J. The system will occupy a small 10' x 25' footprint including room for the operator. This conversion will reduce the company's costs by $70,000 per year and this will give the system a 12 month pay back. The analytical results are shown below:
| BOD | TSS | |
|---|---|---|
| Untreated | 210 ppm | 550 ppm |
| Treated | 33 ppm | 26 ppm |
| % Reduction | 84% | 95% |
