Food industry wastewater treatment coagulation-flocculation

Pretreatment is necessary for the treatment of the food industry wastewater. Pretreatment options such as flow equalization and neutralization, screening, FOG separation, acidification, coagulation-flocculation, sedimentation, and DAF are available. Selecting the appropriate technology depends on the wastewater characteristics.
