A juice processing facility in Florida faced wastewater challenges as high BOD concentrations exceeded the capacity of its existing onsite pretreatment system. To manage the excess, a portion of the wastewater had to be trucked offsite for disposal, driving up operational costs significantly.<\/p>\n

With untreated BOD levels reaching up to 10,000 mg\/L and high variability in the waste stream, the facility sought a straightforward, operator friendly solution to expand its pretreatment capacity and reduce reliance on costly offsite disposal.<\/p>\n

[\/dsm_card][dsm_card title=”Solution:” layout=”inline” layout_inline_image_width=”10%” image=”https:\/\/astfilters.com\/wastewater\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/07\/solution-icon.png” image_as_background=”off” content_padding=”|||40px|false|false” button_url_new_window=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h3″ header_font=”|||on|||||” header_text_color=”gcid-73e2c626-250a-4caa-95ce-7e8a76d8342e” custom_padding=”0px|0px|0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{%22gcid-73e2c626-250a-4caa-95ce-7e8a76d8342e%22:%91%22header_text_color%22,%22header_text_color%22%93}”]<\/p>\n

The facility implemented an onsite pilot using AST\u2019s Recirculating PolyGeyser\u00ae technology to evaluate its effectiveness in handling their high-strength wastewater. The system was designed to provide a reliable and easy-to operate solution with the goal of reducing untreated BOD concentrations to below 750 mg\/L, while demonstrating a scalable approach to increasing onsite pretreatment capacity.<\/p>\n

AST\u2019s pilot demonstrated that the Recirculating PolyGeyser\u00ae technology could reliably and significantly lower BOD concentrations in the facility\u2019s wastewater, achieving an average reduction of 88%. Based on these results, the facility is moving forward with the installation of two RCPG-500 treatment modules, which will eliminate the need for costly wastewater trucking and disposal.<\/p>\n
