Edible oil production : reduction and recovery of residual oils with Krofta DAF

Krofta DAF Wastewater Treatment for Corn and Soybean Oil Plants

Effluent management is a critical aspect of operations for corn and soybean oil plants. With high levels of residual fats, oils, and grease (FOG) in wastewater streams, effective treatment solutions are essential to ensure regulatory compliance and optimize operational costs. Krofta Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) technology offers a proven and efficient solution for reducing residual oils, improving wastewater quality, and enhancing resource recovery in seed oil processing plants

Effective Oil Capture for Effluent Streams

Krofta DAF systems excel in reducing residual oils from wastewater streams, delivering significant benefits for corn and soybean oil processors:

Reduction of Residual Oils: Efficiently removes oils and grease from effluent streams, helping plants comply with discharge regulations and avoid surcharges.
Resource Recovery: Captured oils can be sold to renderers, providing an additional revenue stream and reducing the overall operating costs of seed oil plants.

Key Benefit: Converts waste into a valuable byproduct, enhancing plant profitability.

Versatile Applications for Corn Oil Processor

Krofta DAF technology is highly adaptable to the diverse needs of corn oil processors, offering solutions for both simple and complex wastewater challenges:

Single-Stream FOG Reduction: Treats individual effluent streams to lower FOG levels before discharge.
Integration with Anaerobic Treatment: Supports complex wastewater treatment systems for processors producing a wide range of corn-based products.
Water Reuse: Treated water can be reused in cooling towers when combined with other advanced treatment technologies, promoting sustainable operations.

Key Benefit: Enhances flexibility and supports a wide range of processing applications.

Phosphorus Reduction for Environmental Compliance

Phosphorus reduction is an increasingly important requirement in certain regions of the U.S. and Canada. Krofta DAF systems can be employed as a final treatment step to:

Reduce Total Phosphorus: Achieves significant phosphorus removal from effluent streams, ensuring compliance with stringent environmental standards.
Protect Local Ecosystems: Minimizes nutrient loading in receiving waters, helping to prevent issues like algal blooms and eutrophication.

Key Benefit: Meets evolving regulatory requirements while supporting environmental sustainability.

Advantages of Krofta DAF for Seed Oil Plants

Krofta DAF technology delivers unmatched performance and value for corn and soybean oil plants:

Rapid Treatment: Clarifies effluent streams in just 3-5 minutes, ensuring fast and efficient operations.
High Solids Removal: Handles high FOG concentrations without compromising performance.
Compact Design: Requires less space than traditional clarifiers, making it ideal for facilities with limited footprint availability.
Cost-Effective Operation: Reduces the need for external treatment and resource disposal, cutting overall operating costs.
