Industrial Wastewater Applications: Food

In the food industry various process technologies are required to treat wastewater with high COD, suspended solids and organic loadings. Depending on the specific site conditions and the treated effluent requirements, unit process technologies typically selected by Wehrle on a food wastewater project would include Equalisation, pH Control, Dissolved Air Flotation and MBR technology, the Wehrle MBR-HS process specifically.

The driving forces that have encouraged the development of MBR technology for food applications...

Further savings can be realised by using Low Energy Crossflow operation on larger MBR systems for food wastewater treatment.
