Food Processing Wastewater
Clarification for Food Manufacturing Effluent
Plate settlers clarify high-strength food processing wastewater, removing solids, fats, and organic load ahead of discharge or biological treatment.
Food Processing Wastewater
Food processing generates wastewater rich in suspended solids, fats, oils, greases, and dissolved organics. Loads vary sharply with production cycles, cleaning, and product changeovers.
Plate settlers with upstream pH adjustment and coagulation efficiently remove food solids and precipitated organics, reducing sewer surcharges and protecting downstream biological treatment from shock loads.
Compact, stainless-steel systems integrate well into food plants where hygiene, space, and reliable performance are priorities.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
High Organic Load
Reduces BOD/COD load to sewer or biological treatment.
Fats & Oils
Removes precipitated fats, oils, and greases effectively.
Variable Flow
Handles production-driven flow and load swings.
