FRC has been the trusted engineer to help manage the wastewater treatment needs for this Canadian based top ten worldwide dairy processor as they grow and expand across North America. All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Dairy Turnkey Solution Food & Beverage Previous Project Next Project FRC Components Open-Style DAF, High-Rate DAF, Flocculator, Biological Treatment, MBBR Project Description FRC has been the trusted engineer to help manage the wastewater treatment needs for this Canadian based top ten worldwide dairy processor as they grow and expand across North America. This particular facility generates over 360,000 gallons of wastewater per day. The original wastewater treatment system design consisted of a biotower, a Continuous Waste Activated Sludge (CWAS) system, and a clarifier. Without proper pretreatment, Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) was able to enter the biotower, which destroyed the biomass, disrupting the CWAS system downstream. The clarifier was also hydraulically overloaded, resulting in poor performance. The FRC solution was to install a Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) unit as a pretreatment step and to increase biological treatment capacity by installing a Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) system prior to the CWAS system. The MBBR system was designed with future expansion in mind and will eventually replace the CWAS system. Following biological treatment, FRC installed a secondary DAF unit for biomass separation. FRC was able to provide a complete turnkey solution, including the incorporation of controls, monitoring and automation into the existing Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition (SCADA) system. The FRC Solution Primary Flocculator – Chemicals dosed to precipitate the colloidal solids and emulsified oils Primary High-Rate DAF – Float the precipitated solids yielding effluent ready for biological treatment Biological Treatment – MBBR used to remove soluble BOD and as a result it creates biosolids Secondary Flocculator – Short flocculator to precondition biosolids with flocculant Secondary Open-Style DAF – Float the biosolids, yielding clean effluent water Parameter Design Data Flow (gpm) 250 Flow (m3/h) 56.8 TSS (mg/L) 1235 FOG (mg/L) 1400 BOD (mg/L) 3450 Design Data Previous Project Next Project Submit a Project Profile Have a Question?

Attalla, Alabama – The municipality was looking for a solution to reduce the overall Total Phosphorus (TP) as well to handle the summer algae blooms in their lagoon. All Projects FRC Systems » Projects Algae & Phosphorus Removal System Solution Municipal Wastewater Previous Project Next Project FRC Components Flocculator, High-Rate DAF Project Description Attalla, Alabama – The municipality was looking for a solution to reduce the overall Total Phosphorus (TP) as well to handle the summer algae blooms in their lagoon. After running a successful pilot trial with a FRC DAF, the solution was clear. FRC was chosen to design a full-scale DAF system based on the pilot trial. The overall objective was TP removal. The engineer chose to leave the lagoon intact and reduce TP with DAF instead of converting to a full mechanical, high-rate wastewater treatment system, saving the city millions of dollars. Algae and TP removal is straightforward using a FRC DAF, effectively reducing TP well below 1 mg/l. An added benefit for using DAF in this scenario is reducing the algae and Total Suspended Solids (TSS) while also protecting the downstream Ultra-Violet (UV) system. The small footprint of the two parallel DAF units allowed for a reduced building size, saving on overall construction costs. The FRC Solution Flocculator – Chemicals are dosed to precipitate the algae and phosphorous DAF – Floats and separates the precipitated solids yielding effluent that is directly discharged to the UV system Parameter Influent Effluent Flow (gpm) 2800 2800 TP (mg/L) 1.1 .25 TSS (mg/L) 32 3.9 CBOD (mg/L) 24 1.5 Design Data Previous Project Next Project Submit a Project Profile Have a Question?
