FRC provided a turnkey solution for a global manufacturer of residential and architectural doors. One of their production facilities with wastewater production in excess of 790,000 gpd had to bring their discharge into compliance. FRC brought in a pilot DAF System for proof of concept to confirm removal of the Total Suspended Solids (TSS) and a Belt Press as an additional cost saving process for dewatering of sludge. After a successful two-week trial, the client went forward with a full FRC solution including design, manufacture, and complete electrical and mechanical installation.
Wood Application: System Solution
FRC designed a wastewater treatment system for a large, Swiss-based wood manufacturer. The production of fiberboard was generating wastewater with extremely high Total Suspended Solids (TSS) that needed to be reduced to meet city discharge limits. The design used an Inclined Plate Separator (IPS) to remove high density suspended solids from the wastewater via gravity. The resulting effluent was sent back to the chip washer for water re-use. The concentrated wastewater from the inclined plate separator was sent to DAF for final separation, where the DAF sludge is dewatered for maximum cost efficiency.
