Fish Processor Wastewater Treatability

“Treatability” is actually a noun that describes the ability of something “to treat” something. Makes sense when you look at the word broken down “treat+ability”.

Still in all, we mostly use it as an adjective, like “treatable”, to mean “able to be treated”.

The killer Floccin™ line of flocculating agents has fantastic treat ability. Water samples may be very treatable or may be not so treatable, usually with our flocculating agents problem water is rendered highly treatable.

This particular fish processor sample proved to be easily treated.

Fish Processor Case Study

Fish Processor Wastewater Treatability? VERY TREATABLE

The wastewater was received from a fish processing plant that utilizes water to float fish.

Jar testing revealed that Floccin™ 1106 as the most effective product for treating the wastewater. A 1,000 ml beaker filled with the water sample was used to conduct the treatability. 2 grams of Floccin™ 1106 were mixed in 1,000 ml of wastewater which equates to 16.7 lbs/1000 gallons.

The results are pictured below.

The facility would like to reuse the water which will require post hydrocarbon removal and ozonation subsequent to Floccin treatment.

DAF Pilot Dissolved Air Flotation Wastewater Liquids Solids Separation

Industrial Wastewater DAF Treatibility Testing Portable Unit

The DAF Pilot (Dissolved Air Flotation) is used to demonstrate the onsite treatibility of customer’s wastewater.

The unit requires 30 amps at 480volts to operate (8GA 4-wire extension cord). The unit operates automatically, treating, filling and skimming, then repeating as long as there is water in the sump to be treated. The DAF pilot has two separate Mixing Tanks a built in Floccin™ Feeder and variable speed controls for the skimmer, the feeder and the mixers. This unit is capable of 10-25 GPM, depending on the % solids is your wastewater.

Clarifier

The clarifiers use a time proven concept of inclined tube settlers for clarification. This type of clarifier uses gravity in conjunction with the projected settling area of the 60o angle parallel tube settler to settle solids from the pre-treated liquid flow. This treated liquid flows first to the mix tank where Floccin is added to promote floc growth, and then up through the plate pack(s) while the solids settle out to the bottom sludge cones. The clean water flows out through the weirs then into the troughs. Next the water gets piped to the plant to get discharged or used as polishing water for reused. The solids are intermittently taken from the bottom cone to a filter press for further dewatering.

Rotary Screen

Our internally fed screens are ideal for the removal of industrial wastewater solids and contaminants down to 0.25 mm openings. The screens remove the inorganics as well as the organics from the waste streams. With the addition of the Floccin products, the screen can perform equally to conventional clarifiers and/or DAFs for removal of wastewater contaminants.
