Food & beverage industry

The food and beverage industry consumes large volumes of water during washing, cooking, fermentation, cleaning, and packaging. These activities generate high loads of wastewater and air emissions due to organic waste, oils, cleaning chemicals, and combustion from boilers or ovens. Improperly managed, these pollutants can significantly impact public health and the environment.

Wastewater from food processing often contains Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) ranging from 2,000 to 5,000 mg/L, Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) up to 8,000 mg/L, Total Suspended Solids (TSS) of 1,000 to 3,000 mg/L, and high levels of fats, oils, and grease (FOG). The pH can be acidic or alkaline depending on cleaning cycles. Air pollution includes particulate matter, combustion gases (CO, NOx), and odorous organic vapors.

The ideal wastewater treatment starts with Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) to remove FOG and suspended solids. This is followed by biological treatment using Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) to biologically degrade BOD and COD. Tertiary treatment with Activated Carbon Filtration helps in removing residual organics and odor. For air pollution, wet scrubbers and cyclone dust collectors are used to remove particulates and neutralize odorous gases.

Avlon has decades of experience in designing, supplying, and installing wastewater and air treatment systems across major food processing facilities in the Philippines. Our modular, automated, and compact treatment units ensure full compliance with DENR DAO 2016-08 and RA 8749 Clean Air Act. Partner with Avlon today and future-proof your operations.
