Hey mate here is your answer
Food Processing
Water is a precious and crucial resource in the process of food and beverage production. From screening to tertiary treatment, biological nutrient removal to water reclamation, WesTech equipment is designed to maximize efficiencies and minimize downtime, all while meeting the ever-tightening EPA regulations.
Food Processing Wastewater
Copious wastewater is generated in food production. Effluent characteristics and constituents vary widely and require different processing technologies to achieve the required discharge limits. Discharge limits vary further by state and local regulations.
Screening
Food production plant waste streams contain large chunks which require separation. The simplest and most economic process for removing these solids is screening. A number of screen designs exist and facility layout should be a basis for the selection. Models include rotary drum screens, climber screens and channel screens with shaftless conveyors.
