Removal of dyes with ClearFox® DiOx EO
Dyes are an important part of many industries. They are used in dyeing clothes or printing labels. However, the use of dyes can also have negative effects on the environment and our health. Therefore, the removal of dyes is an important part of industrial wastewater treatment. How do dyes get into wastewater? Dyes enter […]
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 […]
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 […]
Pilot system for WWT
What is a pilot system? Pilot systems are test procedures to explore the treatment performance of a treatment system. The focus is often on wastewater that carries a unique contaminant load. Each treatment process can be customised to achieve the perfect treatment result. To find these customised settings, pilot systems are worthwhile. What are the […]
BOD5 removal in wastewater treatment
The abbreviation BOD5 stands for “biological oxygen demand”. This is a key figure for oxygen in mg/l that microorganisms need to break down the substances dissolved in the wastewater – the so-called BOD5 removal. BOD5 is a unit of measurement for the sum of all biodegradable substances in wastewater. What distinguishes BOD5 from COD? Substances […]
COD removal in wastewater
Table of Contents COD removal is a constant challenge in wastewater treatment. There is a lot to consider around the discharge standards as well as the treatment processes. Learn more about chemical oxygen demand and its treatment options. What is COD? The abbreviation COD stands for “chemical oxygen demand”. It is a sum parameter […]
