Case Study
Juice Processing Facility<\/span>
Florida<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>

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<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Problem:<\/h3>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t

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><\/div>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Solution:<\/h3>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t

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><\/div>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Results:<\/h3>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t

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><\/div>\n\t\t\t \n\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
