More efficient effluent

Micromac Filtration has re-designed and upgraded the effluent treatment infrastructure at frozen ready meal supplier Headland Foods.

The firm replaced an under-sized run-down screen that had a tendency to block requiring manual clearing, often at night, and designed and installed a system with a larger rundown screen and a spray wash bar that helps prevent blocking.

A dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit now removes suspended solid matter while a centrifuge dries the sludge and reduces the waste volume for disposal.

"Our technical support has been first class," says Headland's engineering manager Iain Robinson. "The DAF unit is a very effective tool and is well suited to our needs."

The firm is already reporting lower effluent treatment costs and is now confident that its discharges meet with consent limits applied by Anglian Water.
