The Challenge

Beverage Concentrate Plant

A major beverage concentrate producer needed a complete wastewater treatment solution to handle high-strength organic wastewater from syrup production, fruit processing, and equipment cleaning operations.

How We Helped

DAF Flotation System

High-efficiency DAF units for removing suspended solids and oils from concentrate production wastewater.

Biological Treatment

Aerobic advanced biological treatment system to reduce organic load and meet discharge requirements.

Sludge Management

Complete sludge thickening and dewatering system to minimise disposal requirement and costs.

Water Recovery

Advanced filtration system enabling 40% water reuse for non-potable applications.

Project Outcomes

Compliance Achieved

Full compliance with municipal discharge standards.

Water Reuse

40% of treated water recycled for cooling and cleaning.

Efficiency Gains

Significant reduction in water consumption and discharge fees.

Environmental Impact

Reduced environmental footprint through water recovery.

Wastewater Treatment for Food Manufacturing

Food and beverage manufacturing generates high-strength wastewater containing organic matter, fats, oils, sugars, and suspended solids. Our treatment trains combine screening, dissolved air flotation for fat recovery, biological oxidation for dissolved organics, and tertiary polishing to meet discharge consent or enable water reuse. Each system is designed around your specific product mix and seasonal production variations.

Screening & Pre-Treatment

Removes large solids and protects downstream pumps and biological systems from damage.

Fat & Oil Recovery

DAF systems recover valuable fats for rendering while reducing organic loading to biological stages.

Biological Treatment

Activated sludge, MBBR, or SBR processes remove dissolved sugars and organic compounds.

Water Reuse

Tertiary filtration and UV enable safe recycling of process water for equipment washdown.

Compliance & Standards

Food Safety

HACCP-aligned design with food-grade materials and hygienic equipment selection.

Environmental Permits

Effluent engineered to meet trade effluent consent limits including BOD, TSS, and O&G.

By-Product Recovery

Recovered protein, fat, and fibre fractions can offset treatment costs.
