Automation technology increases lost product recovery for meat processing plant
Problem
A Midwest beef processing facility had a dissolved air flotation system that could not consistently recover the necessary level of FOG from the wastewater stream. One to two pounds of oil and grease per animal was escaping the plant and contaminating a wastewater lagoon.
Solution
The company deployed S.sensing CS technology from Kurita America. The approach included injecting chemistry through an intelligent system that continually records wastewater loading and flow. It also adjusts chemical injection volume instantaneously on the front end of the DAF system based on those variables. The Kurita team determined the exact proportion of
