Fats and cleaning chemicals can burden the waste water from chocolate production.

The production of cocoa and nougat products generates wastewater that can be contaminated with both organic residues from production and chemicals from cleaning the production facilities. Before this contaminated wastewater can be fed into a municipal wastewater treatment plant, it must be treated in order to comply with environmental regulations.

We have supplied a dosing station for neutralisation with a buffer tank to a chocolate manufacturer in our neighbourhood for pre-treatment in order to increase the pH-value.

The caustic soda required for neutralisation is supplied and stored in IBCs.

The FKM piston diaphragm dosing pump with electro-hydraulic drive and modern iReg V1 control system is responsible for dosing the caustic soda.

In order to protect the production environment and the environment from chemical contamination in the event of a leak, the dosing station is completely enclosed in a collecting basin, which was manufactured by us in accordance with the safety and quality regulations of the DVS and DIBt and is designed in accordance with the German Water Resources Act (WHG).

The supplied buffer tank is used for the intermediate storage of waste water. The waste water is produced in batches in large quantities at once. It is gradually fed into the treatment process.
