Treatment basin with floating aeration equipment

Industrial & Food Processing.

Industrial and food processing wastewater

Meat, poultry, dairy and food plants send heavy loads of fats and organic solids into pits and pretreatment systems. Biological treatment, often paired with aeration, helps break down that load before it becomes a surcharge or a shutdown.

Common problems

  • Thick grease caps and sludge in pits and DAF systems
  • H₂S, foam and odors around the plant
  • High-strength discharge and city surcharges

How we help

  • Beneficial bacteria digest organic waste where it collects, instead of masking it with chemicals or fragrance.
  • We recommend a product and dosing schedule based on your system and goals.
  • Natural and biodegradable, with follow-up support from our team.

Where it is used

  • Meat & poultry processing
  • Dairy
  • Food & beverage
  • Pits & equalization tanks
  • Pretreatment

Frequently asked questions

Which industries use biological wastewater treatment?

Meat and poultry processing, dairy, food and beverage plants and other facilities with high levels of fats and organic solids in their wastewater.

Can it help with city surcharges?

By breaking down fats and organic load before discharge, biological treatment can help lower the strength of your wastewater. We review your discharge data during the assessment.

Does it work with our DAF or aeration system?

Yes. Biological treatment is often used together with aeration and DAF systems, treating pits and equalization tanks ahead of or alongside them.
