Water and Wastewater Solutions For The Food and Beverage Industry

81. Foods - Biochemical Oxygen Demand And Chemical Oxygen Demand 1/25/2016

    A food manufacturer in Washington state had a source of well water contaminated with vegetable and fish oils. A five gallon sample was was sent to Kaselco for testing via our electrocoagulation process.

82. PepsiCo's Vision: Improving Water Wherever It Operates 1/19/2024
    As Senior Director of Global Climate and Water Solutions for PepsiCo, Grant oversees a program that actually improves water conditions, rather than simply mitigating PepsiCo's own impact or embracing sustainability merely for efficiency/business benefits. In this Q&A, Grant details PepsiCo's philosophy on water stewardship, the elements of their ambitious water strategy, and the outcomes they hope to achieve.
83. Side-Stream SDOX® Systems Enhance Biological Function And Treatment Capacity 2/1/2021

    Wastewater from the meat processing facility is treated using a sequence batch reactor and an aerobic lagoon that discharges to surface waters following treatment. The facility replaced surface aeration equipment with two, 350-HP the “no-splash,” side-stream SDOX systems retrofitted to the treatment basin. Read the full case study to learn the results.

84. How To Maximize Microbrewery Production Lines

    A microbrewer’s expertise is in brewing, not engineering. Discover how you can get the most out of production lines without the costs associated with hiring outside engineers or experts.

85. The DELUMPER®: A Sweet Success At ADM 11/29/2020

    ADM Cocoa Plant in Hazle Township, Pennsylvania needed help with their cocoa bean production. The plant processes two and a half million pounds of cocoa beans each day, turning them into cocoa powder, cocoa butter, and chocolate liquor. The company needed a machine to process sugar with over-sized lumps that could occur in transport or storage. Unless these agglomerated clumps were reduced to a granular form, the process could not work dependably. The machine also had to handle the large quantity of sugar processed daily and be sanitary.

86. Aeration Considerations: What To Know Before You Buy 5/15/2019

    Unlike most municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) applications, industrial wastewater can vary widely from one application to another, even within the same plant, depending on the process being run. Industrial wastewater professionals — especially those facing specific challenges or planned volume increases — can benefit from comparing key points of differentiation in jet aeration system options before making any upgrade.

87. Here's To Microbrews And POTWs 5/27/2020

    As local breweries grow in popularity, their initial focus on hand-crafted recipes can quickly shift to business realities such as the costs and logistics of process wastewater treatment. Publicly owned treatment works (POTWs), brewery owners, and consulting engineers all have roles to play in making that trajectory smoother for up-and-coming craft and microbrewers.

88. Feds Take Steps To Regulate Water For Food 4/30/2014

    Due to new rules proposed by the FDA, monitoring services and new pumps will likely be shopping-list items for food processors.

89. DO Or Die — Dealing With Aeration Basin Oxygen Deficiencies 8/20/2019

    Managing the treatment of wastewater — especially industry-generated wastewater that can elevate dissolved oxygen (DO) demands far beyond those of municipal/residential applications — is hard enough. Trying to do so during upset conditions is enough to put any water treatment professional on edge. Here are several preventive and remedial options to keep in mind before or after DO readings go haywire.

90. Determination Of Hexanal In Foods Utilizing Dynamic Headspace 4/9/2015

    Hexanal is one of many well-documented aromatic components that contribute to flavor and aroma in common consumer food products containing omega-6 fatty acids. Hexanal content is also used to measure the oxidative status of foods rich in omega-6 fatty acids.
