Apple Juice Manufacturing Application

Odor Reduction

Problem:

A very large New England apple juice factory was facing potential governmental fines and possible shutdown if the factory was not able to reduce odor emissions levels being generated by the factories wastewater pre-treatment facility.

Solution:

MICROBE-LIFT (ACF-32) was applied at an initial “shock” rate of 100 PPM into the 700,000 gallon aeration tanks the first day of treatment. ACF-32’s impact on the odor was dramatic. Within three hours the odor problem was contained. The second day application rate was reduced to 50 PPM. The third day application rate was reduced to 25 PPM. The application rate was then reduced to a maintenance dose 5 PPM on the fourth day.

Conclusion:

ACF-32 provided an immediate solution to the odor problems at the juice factory. The factory continues to apply the product on a daily basis for maintenance at 5 PPM.
