WASTEWATER BOD REMOVAL FOR FOOD AND BEVERAGE

The wastewater from food and beverage operations is unique and often contains high levels of BOD, biological oxygen demand. High levels of BOD in the wastewater can put excessive demands on municipal wastewater treatment facilities. In turn, many municipalities are putting that burden back on the food and beverage processors in high surcharges and restrictions on output.

Carotek offers solutions that are a lower cost alternative to other conventional wastewater treatment options and requires much less real estate.
