Aerofloat to showcase its F&B wastewater tech at foodpro 2021

Well known in the wastewater industry, Australian company Aerofloat can provide innovative wastewater treatment solutions for the food and beverage manufacturing sector — the company has detailed two examples.

Innovation is at the heart of Aerofloat’s technology. Manufacturing a dissolved air flotation (AeroDAF) system for Macadamias Australia inside a durable 20-foot HQ shipping container allowed Aerofloat to minimise costs and installation time, while ensuring the system would withstand the harsh Queensland climate. Coupled with a balance tank including pH correction, as well as air mixing and screening, the system allowed Macadamias Australia to remove suspended solids, reduce the BOD and correct pH to meet the local council’s wastewater regulations.

Cupitt’s Estate on the New South Wales south coast required a solution to successfully treat domestic sewage and wastewater from its brewery, cheese production and winery processes. Aerofloat’s wastewater treatment design included sequence batch reactors (AeroSBRs) that applied Aerofloat’s patented aeration system and unique ALS decanter. The system was fully automated and had remote monitoring capabilities to assist with system optimisation and diagnostics. The mixed waste from Cupitt’s Estate was treated to a quality suitable for discharge to the surrounding terrain, meeting the strict regulations by local authorities.

Aerofloat’s team of engineers will be onsite at foodpro 2021, in Sydney, on stand K8, to discuss wastewater issues and solutions for the food and beverage industry and showcase its patented technology.
