CarboNet chemistry simplifies water treatment for meat and diary producers while cutting chemicals, OPEX, CAPEX, HS&E incidents, and emissions.
Meat and dairy wastewater shifts with every washdown, CIP cycle, and batch change. One minute it’s protein-rich and foamy, the next it’s loaded with fat or cleaning agents. CarboNet chemistry is designed to handle that variability—without constant adjustments, overdosing, or clogged equipment.
Why it matters: Meat and dairy wastewater isn’t just hard to treat—it’s hard to treat consistently. Operators are juggling foam, fats, proteins, and chemicals that change by the hour. When your chemistry can’t keep up, you pay for it in fines, sludge, callouts, or all three.
CarboNet’s chemistry resolves these issues:
The bottom line: Water treatment isn’t a core focus for meat and dairy producers. Solutions need to be cost-effective and not impact permit limits—but vitally they need to be safe, simple, and require little to no training for line workers who are focused on other tasks.
A food manufacturer faced constant surcharges as unreliable chemical suppliers and understaffed make-down disrupted wastewater operations.
The problem: A food manufacturer in Northern California struggled to staff make-down operations which, when combined with an unreliable chemical supply chain, led to wastewater that regularly breached permissible levels of suspended solids.
The solution: While SimpleFloc was initially discussed to solve the issue of suspended solids in the waste stream, the conversation broadened to include make-down itself: the materials, the staffing, and the babysitting required to deal with FOG water’s high variability.
The result: The switch to SimpleFloc had an immediate impact on the water and the P&L:
The bottom line: Just as with chemistry, water treatment decisions have primary and secondary consequences that aren’t always factored into the big picture or the bottom line.
