Aerfloat custom-built its AeroCIRC DAF to ensure compliant effluent for a Sydney ready-meals food company.
Depending on the processed food type, wastewater from processed and packaged foods can be high in biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids (SS) or fats, oils and grease (FOG) due to wash-down activities, ingredient losses, and packaging processes.
Packaging operations within food processing facilities can further contribute to fluctuating wastewater loads, particularly where production volumes change daily or grow over time. We recognise that managing this variability is critical to maintaining compliant effluent and avoiding operational disruption, especially in facilities operating under tight space constraints or stringent local discharge requirements.
In processed and packaged food facilities, space is often at a premium, with production lines, storage and logistics taking priority over ancillary infrastructure. Manufacturers therefore require wastewater treatment systems that can fit seamlessly into tight, constrained footprints without compromising operational flow or future growth.
Aerofloat has built a strong reputation in this sector for delivering tailored, compact solutions that adapt to unusually shaped or narrow spaces, such as vertical or “tall and tight” configurations, while still achieving high treatment performance and compliance. By custom-engineering systems to maximise available floorspace, Aerofloat enables food producers to maintain efficient production layouts while reliably processing significant and often variable wastewater volumes.
Aerofloat manufactures its systems in Australia and uses digital 3D modelling during the design phase to ensure the treatment plant fits seamlessly into available site layouts, including constrained or retrofitted packaging facilities. This design approach allows clients to visualise the solution before manufacturing and installation, reducing risk and supporting smoother project delivery.
Microplastics are emerging as a growing concern in industrial wastewater streams, including within the food and beverage sector. Generated from sources such as packaging materials, processing equipment, and manufacturing activities, microplastic particles present increasing environmental and regulatory challenges for industry.
Drawing on expertise in dissolved air flotation (DAF), physical chemical separation, and advanced wastewater treatment processes, Aerofloat delivers tailored solutions designed to assist in the removal of suspended microplastics from wastewater streams, supporting improved effluent quality and long-term environmental compliance.
In addition to system design and installation, Aerofloat provides ongoing support through maintenance services, chemical support and competitive chemical supply agreements. Aerofloat highlights that having the correct chemistry within a packaging wastewater treatment system is critical to achieving the required effluent quality and maintaining long-term compliance.
Aerofloat is highly experienced in working with food processing factories to create solutions to ensure compliance with local discharge requirements Aerofloat’s solutions are compact and low maintenance.
