Filter press helps Russell-Stover plant reduce overload on the main system while exceeding regulatory standards Clarksville, Virginia is a community home to many industries, such as candy manufacturer Russel-Stover. When the aerated lagoon – used to pre-treat wastewater – became overloaded, the town turned to Evoqua for solutions. While the effluent wastewater is hardly hazardous to your health, it is a very common problem for candy manufacturers as it contains a very high proportion of Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). When combined with the effluent from other industries, it can overload a small to medium sized municipal wastewater treatment system's capacity to process these wastes and meet stringent regulatory standards.

ADI® MBR system necessary ingredient to help facility meet wastewater discharge limits to remain in environmental compliance Morinaga’s Hi-Chew fruit candies were being made in Taiwan and imported to the United States, but an explosion in popularity in recent years prompted the confectionery company to begin production in America. Morinaga planned to open a new 20-acre production facility in Orange County, North Carolina, USA that would be the first of its kind on U.S. soil. The new facility required a dependable wastewater treatment system that could treat confectionery wastewater to meet publicly owned treatment works (POTW) discharge limits, helping Morinaga remain environmentally compliant.
