Restaurant wastewater with its high levels of fats, oils, greases and other food particles is usually classified as high strength waste.
Here in Indiana, secondary treatment of restaurant waste is a requirement of the Indiana State Department of Health.
High strength waste can wreck havoc on a septic system by promoting an unwanted bio-mat and physically clogging the soil absorption system. All of the food preparation and washing of dishes often creates wastewater with CBOD levels greater than 1000 mg/l (residential waste is usually 150 – 300 mg/l).
Aero-Tech ATUs can treat CBOD levels of 2000 mg/L down to <10 mg/L by running the high strength waste through two ATUs set in series. Our units are proving to be an affordable and effective way to treat high strength waste whether it’s final destination is an onsite septic system, municipal (city) sewer or a surface discharge equipped with an optional ultraviolet light for disinfection.
Whether you’re a single dipper ice cream shop or the world’s largest food court, Aero-Tech ATUs can help.
