- Pharmaceutical - Turnkey Solution - FRC Project Profile
A global pharmaceutical company in Asia was combating high Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids concentration (MLSS) and needed to reduce level to stay in compliance. All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Pharmaceuticals Turnkey Solution General Manufacturing Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Project Next Project FRC Components Flocculator, Open-Style DAF, Reactor Tanks Project Description A global pharmaceutical company in Asia was combating high Mixed Liquor Suspended Solids concentration (MLSS) and needed to reduce level to stay in compliance. FRC supplied the original solution for the facility. After being acquired by another company, the plant was being expanded for additional capacity. FRC was able to leverage the existing DAF and expand the system to handle the additional wastewater generated by the extra capacity. The FRC Solution System Solution: The site was producing wastewater in volumes over 400,000 gpd with high levels of MLSS. The client has an aerobic biological system, which along with the DAF units are used for biosolids separation. Prior to each DAF is a flocculator to agglomerate the biosolids. The DAF units are arranged in a duty/standby configuration per the bid specification. Flocculator (duty/standby) – Polymer dosed to agglomerate the biosolids Open-Style DAF (duty/standby) – Float the agglomerated biomass, yielding clean effluent water Turnkey Solution: A decade later, the client was expanding their production plant, and expected wastewater generation to reach 750,000 gpd. Based on an FRC site survey, the client did not need to change size of the DAF units for of the higher flow rates. The flocculators and polymer dosing equipment did need to be upsized. Instead of replacing the existing flocculators, FRC proposed a solution using continuously stirred tank reactors (CSTR). Although a CSTR would need a low-power mixer, the auxiliary equipment and piping could remain the same. FRCs solution included the demolition of the existing flocculators as well as the turnkey mechanical and electrical installation of the new CSTR systems and polymer dosing equipment. Reactor Tank (duty/standby) – Polymer dosed to agglomerate the biosolids DAF (duty/standby) – Float the agglomerated biomass, yielding clean effluent water Parameter Design Data Flow (gpm) 500 Flow (m3/h) 114 MLSS (mg/L) 7180 Design Data Previous Project Next Project Submit a Project Profile

- Jar Testing | FRC Systems
A jar test provides a simple and effective qualitative test to determine a combination that results in effective solids removal with DAF treatment. FRC Systems » Services Jar Testing Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Quick Links FRC Jar Testing Process Coagulation Flocculation DAF Simulation Sludge Testing FRC can recommend the proper pretreatment chemicals. A FRC Systems jar test provides a simple and effective qualitative test in which we add various coagulant and/or flocculant chemicals to your wastewater samples in order to determine a combination that results in effective solids removal with dissolved air flotation (DAF) treatment. We also offer optional analytic testing for both treated and untreated samples, including Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG), Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), and many others. Based on the jar test results, FRC can recommend the proper pretreatment chemicals to discuss with your chemical supplier. The coagulants will be selected based on the application, wastewater characteristics, and sludge disposal options. Coagulation This is a purely chemical process which involves the destabilization of colloidal particles forming micro-flocs with a positive charge. We are determining how quickly micro-flocs can be formed to select the proper FRC product selection. During this step, we can determine a preliminary dosing recommendation. Flocculation The flocculant is a polymer that attracts the opposite charged micro flocs, and agglomerates the micro flocs into larger “macro flocs”. This is done in order to achieve a size suitable for separation in the flotation cell. Polymers can be an anionic, cationic, or nonionic. DAF Simulation In this step we generate whitewater by pressurizing water in a dedicated vessel. We inject the generated whitewater into the waste water sample to observe how the dissolved air interacts with the previously formed macro-flocs. Sludge Testing We also offer sludge testing which involves applying pressure to evaluate the behavior of the sludge. This allows FRC to recommend the proper dewatering technology.
- Phosphorus Removal - System Solution - FRC Project Profile
Attalla, Alabama – The municipality was looking for a solution to reduce the overall Total Phosphorus (TP) as well to handle the summer algae blooms in their lagoon. All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Algae & Phosphorus Removal System Solution Municipal Wastewater Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Project Next Project FRC Components Flocculator, High-Rate DAF Project Description Attalla, Alabama – The municipality was looking for a solution to reduce the overall Total Phosphorus (TP) as well to handle the summer algae blooms in their lagoon. After running a successful pilot trial with a FRC DAF, the solution was clear. FRC was chosen to design a full-scale DAF system based on the pilot trial. The overall objective was TP removal. The engineer chose to leave the lagoon intact and reduce TP with DAF instead of converting to a full mechanical, high-rate wastewater treatment system, saving the city millions of dollars. Algae and TP removal is straightforward using a FRC DAF, effectively reducing TP well below 1 mg/l. An added benefit for using DAF in this scenario is reducing the algae and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) while also protecting the downstream Ultra-Violet (UV) system. The small footprint of the two parallel DAF units allowed for a reduced building size, saving on overall construction costs.

Chemical Treatment Systems – Coagulation, flocculation, and pH adjustment. Sludge Dewatering Solutions – Reducing waste volume and disposal costs. Filtration & Screening – For pre-treatment and solid separation. What is Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF)? Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) is a wastewater treatment process that is highly effective in the removal of suspended solids (TSS), fats/oils & grease (FOG), biological oxygen demand (BOD) and other contaminants from water. It is particularly effective in situations where conventional sedimentation methods are less efficient. Here’s a breakdown of what DAF is and its primary uses: Air Dissolution: In DAF, air is dissolved into water under pressure in a specialized tank, saturation tube or pump. Pressure Release: When this pressurized water is injected into the flotation vessel, the pressure drops which releases the dissolved air as tiny microbubbles. Flotation Mechanism: These microbubbles attach to suspended particles and contaminants, causing them to rise to the surface. Skimming: The accumulated material (sludge or float) at the surface is skimmed off, while the clarified water is collected from below. What Are Some Uses of DAF? Dissolved Air Flotation, or DAF, is used in a variety of applications, including: Industrial Water Treatment: In industries such as food and beverage, oil and gas, and pulp and paper, to treat process water and wastewater. Municipal Wastewater Treatment: To remove solids, algae, phosphorus and other contaminants before further treatment or discharge. Sludge Thickening: DAF is used thicken biological sludge, reducing the overall sludge volume reducing transportation, handling and disposal costs. Drinking Water Purification: To remove algae, particulates, and other contaminants from source water. Pre-treatment: As a pre-treatment step for more advanced treatment processes, enhancing overall efficiency. Stormwater Management: To treat runoff and reduce pollutants before discharge. Does FRC Provide Rentals or Pilots? With the largest Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) rental fleet in the US and equipment ranging from 10–3,000 gpm, we can tailor a solution to your needs. All FRC rental equipment is available for short-term and long-term rental agreements as well as pilot testing and long-term lease agreements. FRC rental systems and stand-alone equipment are installed in a “plug-and-play” configuration for ease of installation and start-up. Once in place on-site, the unit can be operational within a matter of hours. What is a Flocculator? A Flocculator from FRC Systems is designed to provide the necessary mixing action and retention time to chemically treat wastewater. Here’s how it works: Coagulation: Coagulants are added to the wastewater to break emulsions and form micro-flocs. Flocculation: Flocculants are then added to agglomerate these micro-flocs into larger, more robust macro-flocs. Mixing: Mixing: The flocculator ensures proper mixing energy required by the chemicals and maintains the integrity of the flocs, which is crucial for effective separation in the subsequent Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) process. FRC Systems offers both Plug-Flow Reactors (PFR) and Continuous-Stirred Tank Reactors (CSTR) as flocculators, each designed to optimize the chemical treatment process. What is the difference between the PCL, PCCS and PWL? The main differences between PWL, PCL, and PCCS Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) systems from FRC Systems lie in their design and application: PWL (Open-Tank DAF System): Design: Open tank, low-built separators with side walls typically 8 to 10.5 feet tall. Application: Better suited for high solids loading rates. The skimmer assembly rotates against the hydraulic flow, shortening sludge skimming distance and eliminating solids carry-over. PCL (High-Rate DAF System): Design: Features corrugated plate packs that increase the effective separation area, allowing for a smaller footprint. Application: Ideal for high hydraulic loads with lower solids loading rates. The plate packs help maintain laminar flow and increase effective separation area which increases overall system performance. PCCS (High-Rate DAF System): Design: Similar to PCL, the PCCS features a high-rate design and corrugated plate packs. However, the PCCS is specifically designed to fit within a shipping container, making it easily transportable. Ideal for temporary or mobile wastewater treatment needs, such as remote locations or construction sites. Application: Efficient for removing Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), and other pollutants from wastewater. Each system is tailored to specific wastewater treatment needs, with PWL being more suitable for higher solids content and PCL/PCCS for higher hydraulic loads. If you have a specific application in mind, I can help you determine which system might be the best fit! Is FRC a part of Sulzer?

- System Upgrades - FRC Systems
We can upgrade or refurbish existing FRC systems as well as those from other manufacturers. All Products FRC Systems » Products System Upgrades PDF Product Sheet Solutions for Wastewater Treatment & Management Previous Product Next Product At FRC, we are always working to improve the performance of wastewater treatment systems. We can upgrade or refurbish existing FRC systems as well as those from other manufacturers. Some of these upgrades are designed to prolong the life of current systems by repairing components that have experienced wear-and-tear over the course of time. Others, like aeration and controls upgrades can be used to enhance and improve the performance of your treatment system. DAF Aeration Upgrade The aeration of a DAF is the heart and soul of the system. Our simple design works so well that we’re constantly retrofitting competitors’ DAFs with our upgraded aeration system. FRC is completely brand-agnostic with regards to the model of recycle pump used on our DAF. Recycle Pump FRC’s design uses the recycle pump to pump water, not dissolve air. That means these recycle pumps are much less costly than a specialty whitewater pump. The pumps are ideal for higher solids tolerance which can be crucial in applications with high amounts grit, sand, and dirt. It also allows you to choose the pump material of construction based on the needs of the environment, including ductile iron, Stainless Steel 316, and Duplex Stainless Steel. Air Dissolving Tube An air dissolving tube is used to generate white water in our aeration system. This short expansion in the recirculation piping allows clarified effluent and a small volume of compressed air to dissolve into the water. Our angled configuration allows for increased water and air interface, so saturation occurs almost instantly. Pneumatic Panel The pneumatic panel design for each DAF contains safety features to protect the recycle pumps and is also used to avoid discharging untreated wastewater as a process control measure. Control Panel Upgrade Over the course of time, existing panels may become unreliable or may no longer be capable of sufficient automation, forcing unnecessary operator intervention. We know that is not acceptable in today’s demanding production environments. In addition to our standard panel offerings, FRC can provide additional features for SCADA and plant integration. Know How FRC has a dedicated mechanical and electrical project team to design the electrical control panels for our systems in-house. Our expertise and familiarity with the equipment provides a solid know how of how the system works. We understand that time is money, and we have the experience to minimize and even eliminate downtown during the upgrade. SCADA Our panels can be upgraded to include Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) to trend and store data for the analysis sought after in today’s information driven facilities. Plant Integration FRC can customize your panel to allow for integration with Distributed Control System (DCS), centralized data historian, and remote monitoring solutions to deliver access to data anywhere and anytime.
