Food Processing

You help get dinner on our plates, let us help with cleaning up afterward.

Your work ends at “yum.” Ours ends at “not yuck.” Otherwise, we have similar jobs.

From packing vegetables to baking sweet treats, the food processing industry is almost impossibly broad. But common to each corner of this vast industry is the fact that it takes an expert to understand how ingredients will interact with your processes, and how to optimize it to deliver a quality product every time.

That’s how wastewater treatment works, too. Our experts can’t help you with your flavor profiles, but they understand how the components of your wastewater need to be processed to deliver compliant effluent. In fact, they’ve helped a number of the world’s great food producers do just that, using simple-to-run, efficient systems that allow everyone to devote less attention to the “yuck” end of the business and focus on making more of the “yum.”

Let us handle your dirty work

Even if you have full-time wastewater treatment staff, there are some jobs worth offloading. Maybe its the on-water work of inspecting and cleaning your aeration diffusers. Maybe it’s a big job of replacing outdated, inefficient membranes. Maybe it’s getting your brand new equipment installed by the manufacturer’s own wastewater treatment experts, not just any contractor between paving jobs, and having that single point of responsibility.

It’s worth hiring the right team to get the job done right, done faster, and with a warrantee. That right team is SiteWorks, our elite wastewater treatment squads and your wastewater operation’s new best friends. SiteWorks’ only goal is to ensure your plant is so well installed, serviced, and (should the need arise) repaired, you never have to worry about your wastewater treatment again.

Expand your treatment capacity, not your footprint

If you’re like many food processors, what comes out of your facility is beloved in your community except by the local wastewater treatment plant. Thanks to the byproducts of processing food in general are major contributors of organic loading to municipal plants used to more of a residential workload. You may already be paying substantial surcharges just for the privilege of being a “significant industrial user.”

You may think that you don’t have the space or money to cut your loading, but you also might not know of the BioPorts MBBR. With its HPDE media providing a perfect home for the bacteria that breaks down your organic loading, a BIoPorts MBBR can handle high-strength and highly-variable wastewater. It does so in a way that’s easy to run, low maintenance, and so efficient on space, it can fit in spaces you might never have considered wastewater treatment could fit.

Did you know?

Because the BioPorts media breaks up bubbles, low-maintenance coarse bubble aeration gets fine-bubble-level oxygen transfer efficiencies.

BioPorts MBBR media has a proprietary design that maximizes durability and protected surfaces.

Case Study

Leeds, AL was wondering whether their tight site had the real estate to upgrade their treatment capacity. Then they met the BioPorts MBBR.

Turn that pond into an easy, odor-free treatment plant.

Your wastewater lagoon may not just be the simplest route, it may be your best bet for meeting your limits. When optimized with optAER fine-bubble aeration and lagoon upgrades, you have a user-friendly, low maintenance treatment system whose storage capacity internally equalizes loading peaks and valleys, while digesting your internal loading with minimal sludge production. Plus, that effective aeration. mixing, and resulting sludge management means you won’t need to worry about odors offending your visitors.

You might actually end up with a treatment plant so pretty, you’d consider putting it on your packaging.

optAER lagoons can be optimized using a range of tools in addition to fine-bubble aeration.

Adding aeration to a pond not only improves performance, but might actually save you expensive desludging.
