Water treatment for ice cream manufacturing
Sep 05^th, 2002, 5:36pm

We are a manufacturer of Ice Cream novelties and are in the process of setting up a new manufacturing facility in an existing building.

We need to install some kind of waste water treatment system to limit the output of BOD's and grease. We have a 1200 gallon septic tank set up as a grease trap inside our present facility. This creates problems when we have it pumped out weekly. So we would perfer not to do the same thing over again.

Can you help us or point us in the right direction?

Thank you,
Kevin Shaw
Project Manager

If you have interest in this process mail me My e-mail adress is marinomaretto.libero.it Rgds Marino

Sir - We have a product that intercepts Suspended Solids, BOD's & FOG's before they enter the grease trap. It is a simple devise that mounts under your sinks that will remove 75% to 90% of the grease problems. The devise is called The Rhino Interceptor. It catches the above in a sock membrane that will hold 15 lbs. You remove & replace the membrane daily & it is real easy to do!
I'll be glad to review this with you. It's cost is less than $500
plus a plumber fee to install. It will, at the least, reduce the clean-outs to 7 to 10 time per year.

Dear Kevin,
Your problem is not an uncommon one. We have found that the use of our bacterial additive will not only substantially reduce your BOD, but will eliminate the need to pump out your septic tank. The use of anaerobic bacteria will reduce the odors, volitile solids and BOD/COD content of your effluent. A tank as small as yours wuill require a very small amount of product. This will also keep the drain field clear and flowing freely.

I would suggest you visit our web site at www.envirobact.com for additional information. You may also contact me at that time.
Best Regards,

I assume you want to clean up the effluent from your process to the point that the water may be discharged to a POTW.

Often, a POTW will accept a high BOD discharge by simply paying a surcharge. Grease may be a different story, The levels of each contaminant will determine which treatment would be feasable.

If you add "bugs" to the system and also maintain DO levels so they are happy, you might be able to reduce BOD levels. If this is not a constant flow, you might be able to put in a small Sequencing Batch Reactor to handle this material. If there is substantial grease in the system, you might use a DAF.

Bottom line is your flow, contaminat levels, and final dischage options will make a difference in what you can cost effectively do. There is not majic pill. Send me an email if you would like to talk further.

Kevin,
If you want a cost-effective, reliable system to remove the contaminants from your wastewater, we have what you need - in terms of state-of-the-art equipment with a very small footprint; cutting-edge treatment processes that meet the strictest effluent discharge regulations and recover water for reuse; and, on-going, one-on-one service to assure all your needs are met consistently and cost-effectively. Our website, www.dtic.com, is badly in need of updating, but does give some info.

Let us know your flowrate, contaminants of concern, and your timeline and I'll have Dr. Perri get in touch with you ASAP.
