Wastewater treatment plants and air pollution control systems in the food industry
At Condorchem Enviro Solutions, we have extensive experience in the design, manufacturing, and commissioning of wastewater treatment plants and atmospheric emissions control systems for food producers and food processing industries.
We offer efficient and cost-effective solutions to manage the most common pollutants produced in the food sector.
Contaminants in wastewater
- Organic matter.
- Oils, fats and greases.
- Nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus, which can cause eutrophication in water bodies.
- Solid particles that may include food residues, sediments, and sludge generated during the production process.
- Chemicals such as detergents and disinfectants used in the cleaning and sanitization of equipment and facilities.
- Metals like zinc, copper, and lead, which may come from processing equipment and materials.
- Brines generated in processes such as food curing, desalination, and other treatments involving high salt concentrations.
- Dissolved salts that may come from washing vegetables and other processes where saline compounds are used.
Contaminants in Atmospheric Emissions
- Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane (CH₄) generated by the fermentation and decomposition of organic matter.
- Nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) and sulfur dioxide (SO₂).
- Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted during the processing and storage of food, especially those involving fermentation.
- Dust and fine particles generated in milling, mixing, and transporting powdered materials.
- Odors from the emission of sulfur and nitrogen compounds during the decomposition of organic matter and certain cooking and fermentation processes.
- Ammonia (NH₃) from the handling and storage of products like fertilizers in agricultural industries related to food production.
