Food & Beverage

Clients such as Pepsico-Lays, Pepsico soft drinks, Coca Cola soft drinks, General Mills, etc. are few of PACT clients engaged in the food and beverage industry. Typically high volume wastes and high COD/BOD and oil, requiring either multi-stage aerobic treatment or multistage combined anaerobic and aerobic treatment. In the Pepsico-Lays potato manufacturing plant, the main pollutants were high suspended solids (from potato peel), high BOD/COD and oil. The wastewater was screened first to remove the solids followed by oil skimming, first stage biological using trickling filters (to save on power) followed second stage biological using the extended aeration process.
