Food & Beverage Wastewater
Clarification for Food Processing Effluent
Plate settlers effectively remove fats, oils, grease, and suspended solids from food and beverage processing wastewater.
Food & Beverage Wastewater
Food and beverage manufacturing generates wastewater with high concentrations of organic matter, fats, oils, grease (FOG), and suspended solids. Effective pretreatment is essential before discharge to municipal sewers or biological treatment.
Plate settlers, combined with dissolved air flotation (DAF) or chemical coagulation, provide efficient removal of these contaminants. The compact footprint is particularly valuable in food processing facilities where floor space is at a premium.
R+F systems are designed for the hygienic requirements of food production environments, with stainless steel construction, CIP-compatible design, and easy-clean plate configurations.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
FOG Removal
Effective separation of fats, oils, and grease from process wastewater.
High BOD/COD
Reduce organic loading ahead of biological treatment or sewer discharge.
Seasonal Variation
Handle production-cycle driven flow and load variations.
