One of the largest beef producers in North America was expanding their facility which increased their wastewater volume to 425,000 gpd at the site. FRC engineers designed a solution to upsize the entire wastewater treatment system including the existing primary DAF system and secondary DAF system to efficiently and cost effectively handle the added demand.
Beef Application: System Solution
Design Data
FRC Solution
- Reactor Tanks – Chemicals dosed to precipitate the colloidal solids and oil emulsifications
- Primary High Rate DAF – Float the precipitated solids thereby removing Total Suspended Solids (TSS), Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG), and insoluble Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD)
- Biological Treatment – Remove soluble BOD and as a result it creates biosolids
- Secondary Flocculator – Short flocculator to precondition biosolids with flocculant
- Secondary Open-Style DAF – Float the biosolids, yielding clean effluent water
