Wastewater treatment plant modernisation and capacity expansion for a leading salty snacks producer.
CFD, P&ID, SCADA and commissioning for critical water treatment plants.
Plant layouts, piping isometrics and construction-ready engineering drawings.
Flow, mixing and thermal CFD across treatment and process equipment.
Full mechanical, physico-chemical, biological and sludge equipment range.
A leading salty snacks producer required wastewater treatment plant modernisation and capacity expansion to handle increased production volumes. The existing system was unable to meet discharge requirements and handle the high organic load from potato processing operations.
High-efficiency dissolved air flotation units for solids and oil removal, engineered for continuous snack food wastewater treatment.
Screw press dewatering system to reduce sludge volume and disposal requirements by up to 80%.
Rotary drum screens to remove large solids and protect downstream equipment from damage.
Full SCADA integration for remote monitoring and minimal operator intervention.
Full compliance with local discharge limits and environmental regulations.
50% increase in treatment capacity to support production growth.
Significant reduction in operating and disposal requirements.
Minimal operator intervention required with full automation.
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.
Removes large solids and protects downstream pumps and biological systems from damage.
DAF systems recover valuable fats for rendering while reducing organic loading to biological stages.
Activated sludge, MBBR, or SBR processes remove dissolved sugars and organic compounds.
Tertiary filtration and UV enable safe recycling of process water for equipment washdown.
