Norco foods is floating a fresh approach to wastewater which is hopes will offer a more compact and effective treatment process, writes Louisa Hearn.
Wastewater discharged from food processing plants is officially in the spotlight, with regulators increasingly demanding more stringent treatment before it reaches public waterways.
In light of these concerns, Norco’s food division has begun implementing Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) and Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) technology from Aerofloat at its Labrador facility, with high hopes the units can provide a more compact and effective treatment process.
