Treat Sugary, Starchy Streams Onsite
Handle the high organic loads of snack foods manufacturing and confectionery wastewater with energy-neutral onsite wastewater treatment. We help food manufacturers reduce their energy, chemical, and maintenance costs while eliminating the headache of wastewater management with hands-off treatment.
Helping Potato Processors Reduce Operational Burden
Potato processing produces high-strength wastewater with high levels of BOD, causing large surcharges in your wastewater bill. Aquacycl comes in after starch recuperation to lower BOD, H2S, and Nitrogen in your wastewater, ensuring you meet compliance and avoid those high surcharges.
- 96-98% BOD reduction
- 99% H2S removal
- 80% Nitrogen removal
- 50% net cost savings
If water savings is your goal, we enable onsite water reuse to help you achieve efficient water use. All of this is achieved in a fully hands-off, hassle-free system with a 100% compliance guarantee so you don’t have to worry about your wastewater again.
Effective Solutions for Chocolate, Sugar, Bakery Confectioners
