Enhancing Water Quality For Mountaire Farms

Mountaire Farms, a processing plant in Millsboro, was facing a critical issue with its wastewater facility. The facility was unable to meet permit requirements and was causing damage to the company's reputation. Residents had even taken legal action against the plant for contaminating groundwater with nitrates. In order to address these problems, the company decided to replace its mechanical surface aerators with SDOX technology.

The implementation of the SDOX solution resulted in significant improvements in the treatment process. The company witnessed increased biomass in the treatment basin, which allowed them to operate within the permit requirements without the need for constructing a new treatment facility. This not only saved them money but also helped them avoid any further legal action from the community.

Overall, the adoption of the SDOX technology by Mountaire Farms proved to be a crucial step in resolving their wastewater treatment issues. It not only helped the company meet permit requirements but also improved their reputation, reduced costs, and had positive environmental and social impacts.
