Food & Beverage Wastewater Projects

Food and beverage manufacturing produces some of the most concentrated organic wastewater in industry — biscuit and bakery lines alone can exceed COD of 18,000 mg/L, while confectionery, dairy, starch and beverage streams carry heavy sugars, fats, oils and grease that overwhelm under-designed plants. Getting the primary treatment and biological stages right is the difference between a plant that meets norms and one that fails audits.

Spans Envirotech has designed, built and serviced effluent and sewage treatment plants across the full breadth of the food & beverage sector for three decades. The projects below span biscuit and bakery, confectionery, dairy, rice milling, starch and nutrition beverages — from greenfield ETP design to capacity upgrades, troubleshooting and long-term operation & maintenance.
