Major Food Producer


THE PROBLEM:

A facility producing salad dressings and other liquid sauces was struggling with high FOG loadings that were overwhelming it's primary DAF.  These primary DAF upsets would cause problems at downstream bioreactors and sludge dewatering system.  Limited capital was available for major improvements (ie larger primary DAF).  A simple and robust solution was needed to relieve the overwhelmed DAF.  
EVALUATION:

Salt Creek Technologies worked with facility personnel to identify potential opportunities.  The first potential solution was a floating tube skimmer.  In order to verify that the tube skimmer would adequately remove oil a small pilot unit was deployed.  The pilot proved that the concept was sound and the plant decided to move to a full scale system.  
THE SOLUTION: 

An Oil Skimmers Inc. 6V vertical tube skimmer was installed 
THE PROCESS:

​Wastewater:  Food and beverage processors use and hence generate high volumes of wastewater.  Major pollutants include biological oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids (TSS),  and fats oils and greases (FOG).  Wastewater systems at food and beverage manufacturing facilities are faced with changes in influent conditions caused by CIP procedures and changing production mixes.  ​
