New Membrane Bioreactor System Eliminates Municipal Surcharges with Onsite Wastewater Treatment Facility

摘要

The membrane bioreactor (MBR) system, designed and built by ADI Systems Inc., treats up to 400,000 gallons per day of raw snack food wastewater using advanced membrane bioreactor technology for liquid-solid separation, reducing suspended solids and biochemical oxygen demand to less than 2 milligrams per liter, eliminating $100,000 per month in municipal wastewater surcharges, and releasing 250 gallons per minute of treated, filtered, oxygenated water into the local watercourse ecosystem Golden Flake Snack Foods (Golden Flake) located in Birmingham, Alabama, was faced with a tough decision; either come up with a solution to stem the escalating municipal wastewater surcharges it was being assessed, or move its 300,000 square-foot snack food processing plant out of the county to stem the significantly rising costs.
