Efficient wastewater treatment is essential for the growing beverage industry, which encompasses juice and soft drink production facilities. With increasing production volumes and stricter environmental regulations, innovative and adaptable wastewater solutions are crucial. Krofta Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) technology provides a reliable and efficient solution, ensuring compliance, reducing costs, and promoting sustainability in the beverage sector.

The global brewery industry has seen significant growth, driven by the rise of microbreweries and specialty craft beers. As breweries expand, so do the challenges of managing effluent streams. Krofta DAF systems offer effective solutions for these challenges:

• Integration with Biological Processes: While brewery wastewater often requires biological treatment due to its high soluble BOD/COD content, Krofta DAF units are widely incorporated into the overall treatment process.
• Solids Clarification: Removes suspended solids and fats, oils, and grease (FOG) to improve the performance of biological systems and ensure high-quality effluent discharge.
• Compact Design: Ideal for breweries with limited space, particularly smaller craft breweries and microbreweries.

Key Benefit: Krofta DAF systems help breweries meet environmental compliance while optimizing operational efficiency.

The soft drink industry faces unique wastewater challenges due to the high soluble fractions of BOD and COD in its effluent streams. Krofta DAF systems provide solutions tailored to these needs:

• Downstream Clarification: Often used as a clarifier downstream of high-rate biological processes, ensuring efficient solids removal.
• Final Solids Reduction: In many facilities, Krofta DAF is used as a final treatment step after anaerobic and aerobic polishing to ensure the highest water quality.
• Phosphate Reduction: With stricter regulations around phosphate discharge, Krofta DAF units have proven effective in reducing phosphates, supporting compliance with environmental standards.

Key Benefit: Enhances effluent quality, ensuring compliance with evolving regulations while supporting sustainable water management.

Krofta DAF technology provides a range of benefits for beverage manufacturers:

• Fast and Efficient Treatment: Achieves clarification in 3-5 minutes, improving overall plant efficiency.
• High Solids Loading Capacity: Handles high concentrations of suspended solids without compromising performance.
• Customizable Solutions: Tailored to meet the unique requirements of breweries and soft drink plants, including compact designs for space-limited facilities.
• Phosphorus and Nutrient Management: Ensures compliance with regulations aimed at reducing environmental impact.

Krofta DAF systems are a proven choice for breweries and soft drink manufacturers, offering effective and adaptable wastewater treatment solutions. From solids clarification to phosphate reduction, Krofta DAF technology delivers reliable performance, helping plants meet regulatory requirements while reducing operational costs and supporting sustainability initiatives.
