Project Description
FRC was the choice of a leading copacker of sandwiches and deli spreads for a complete turnkey solution. Our scope consisted of the design of the wastewater treatment system and the mechanical and electrical installation of the new system, giving the client a one supplier solution.
This facility produces between 12,000 to 15,000 gallons per day with high levels of Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) that had to be brought below 200 mg/L. FRC designed and installed the complete solution to bring them back into compliance.
The FRC Solution
Rotary Drum Screen – Remove course solids such as vegetables and packaging materials
Equalization – Homogenize wastewater for consistent wastewater characteristics headed to the DAF. Aeration mixing is provided to prevent anoxic conditions and formation of ammonia.
Flocculator – Chemicals (coagulant, caustic, acid, and polymer) are dosed to precipitate the emulsified solids.
High-Rate DAF – Float the precipitated oils, thereby removing the FOG below the compliance limit.
Parameter | Effluent Req. |
Flow (gpm) | 10 |
Flow (m3/h) | 2.27 |
FOG (mg/L) | < 200 |
pH | 6-10 |
