Fruit Cannery
This facility cans peaches and pears and wanted to investigate the reduction in BOD and TSS using the Floccin Agents. Samples were made in the off season using 2/3 by weight of peach to 1/3 pear with a total amount of 100 grams in 2,000 ml (5% by weight to simulate the wastewater generated from the facility).
The samples were flocculated with Floccin J at a dosage of 0.25 gram/1,000 ml (250 ppm), screened with coarse filter paper, and analyzed for BOD and TSS. The results show that the Floccin J can reduce some of the BOD and a majority of the TSS. Traditional chemistry only reduces the BOD by 8-9%.
Before and After Floccin / Filter
The results are shown below:
| Analyte | Untreated | Floccin J | %Reduction |
| Biological Oxygen Demand | 4,200 ppm | 2,600 ppm | 14.3% |
| Total Suspended Solids | 3,600 ppm | 130 ppm | 95% |
