Starch removal from potato washing wastewater, and how to treat the remaining wastewater
The potato is one of the most widely consumed staple foods in the world. In industrial processing, washing is a particularly important step. For every kilo of potatoes, 2 to 3 litres of water are needed to clean the potatoes. In the process, potato starch also mixes into the wastewater. Process steps for starch removal […]
FOG management: The Power of DAF Technology for Food and Beverage Manufacturing wastewater
The food and beverage industry generates substantial volumes of wastewater containing high concentrations of fat, oil, and grease (FOG). The improper FOG management can lead to severe environmental and operational problems. In this article, we will discuss the challenges FOG presents in the food and beverage manufacturing sector, the importance of its removal, and the […]
The ecological footprint of the ClearFox® C50
In cooperation with PPU Umwelttechnik GmbH, a master’s thesis from the University of Leipzig deals with the ecological footprint of the ClearFox® C50. This is a containerised wastewater treatment plant which, equipped with a fixed-bed biological reactor and lamella clarifier, can treat a wastewater capacity of 50 m³/day. The aim here is to determine the […]

Retrofit – Upgrading of plastic recycling systems
In recent years, the recycling of plastic has become more and more important. Global plastic pollution is increasing daily, which is why the collection and recycling of plastic is becoming more important. A crucial component of all plastic recycling plants is the washing line, which removes all dirt from the plastic and thus prepares it […]
PFAS in Water and Environment: Understanding, Impacts, Legislation, and Treatment Methods
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are a large group of man-made chemicals that have become a major concern for the environment and public health. PFAS are widely used in various industrial and consumer applications due to their unique properties, such as heat and chemical resistance, oil and water repellence, and non-stick properties. However, the same […]

Fish processing wastewater: Sources and Characteristics
Fish industry wastewater is polluted with various contaminants. It typically contains a very high concentration of organic compounds. These include fish waste, nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, blood, and also oils and fats. In much smaller quantities, fish industry wastewater contains microorganisms, heavy metals, and cleaning chemicals. This results in a high COD and […]

Slaughterhouse wastewater: Sources and characteristics
Slaughterhouse wastewater usually has a rust-red to brown colour because fats and other suspended matter mix with blood and faeces. When the meat is further processed, oils and fats mix into the wastewater, giving it a shimmering yellow colour. In both cases, the COD (chemical oxygen demand), BOD5 (biological oxygen demand) and TSS (total suspended […]
