Food and Beverage
Every wastewater treatment application is unique. Our experienced engineering team has designed systems from standalone products through full turnkey installations for many diverse applications across the food and beverage industry.
FRC systems are designed to reduce operational costs by producing high-dry solids for decreased sludge volume, disposal costs, and chemical costs. Systems are fully automated to reduce operator intervention and provide reliability over changing influent conditions.
Dairy
Dairy wastewater often requires a different approach to account for the risk of noxious odors dairy products can generate in the wastewater treatment process. FRC’s design uses simple chemistry, limits the odor, minimizes the total footprint, and generates sludge with a high dry solids content.
Beverages
The beverage industry covers many applications such as juices, soft drinks, sports drinks, malt beverages, coffee, tea, wineries, and distilleries. FRC will provide a detail-oriented solution for every unique application and design a wastewater treatment system to fit your specific needs.
Fruits and Vegetables
Fruit and vegetable applications are highly dependent on water in their processes; from conveying, washing, peeling, blanching, cooking, and canning or bottling in the plant process. The wastewater generated in these processes is high in organic content due to a large amount of natural material. FRC provides complete wastewater treatment systems including screening, DAF, biological treatment, and sludge dewatering to manage the high volumes of water and elevated organic levels.
Edible Oils
FRC’s edible oil applications include vegetable, soy, corn, palm, cottonseed, canola, flaxseeds, hemp and other oils. Our wastewater treatment systems are designed to discharge treated effluent to Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) or local water sources. Additional benefits can include recovering valuable by-products and water re-use. FRC can engineer a solution for how you want or need to treat your wastewater.
Convenience and Prepared Foods
Convenience foods include baked goods, sandwiches, potato salad, chips, frozen meals, confectionary, chocolates and many others. Most applications require an assortment of technologies including screen, equalization, DAF, sludge dewatering, and on occasion biological treatment for a complete solution. With FRC’s vast experience in this field, we will create the optimal solution for your application.
