WD News: Global food supplier Griffith Foods has selected WCS Environmental Engineering technology to enhance the wastewater treatment process at its UK site in Wincanton, Somerset.
Griffith Foods provides seasonings, coatings, sauce, dressings, and butter portions to the food industry, with the corporate purpose to “blend care and creativity to nourish the world”.
Its previous onsite water treatment system required updating to ensure compliance with tightening trade effluent requirements and maintain the protection of the local water environment. After laboratory testing of site effluent samples, WCSEE recommended a new system comprising a dissolved air flotation (DAF) system, balance and sludge tanks, and a chemical mixing and dosing system.
The system was designed with a particular focus on the removal of fat, oil, and grease (FOG), which can cause blockages in public sewer systems if not removed during industrial effluent treatment. DAF is a treatment process that removes a wide range of total suspended solids in wastewater and reduces FOG and chemical oxygen demand.
