Continuous COD, Cream and Protein Monitoring Minimized Dairy Product Loss

Optimizing Treatment and Reducing Wastewater Surcharges

November 8, 2021

Reducing product loss and limiting COD discharge to the municipal sewer system were key goals for a dairy manufacturing plant. The facility looked to Real Tech to help achieve these goals, installing an industrial grade, real-time BOD/COD probe on the effluent of their production plant. The wastewater probe delivered reliable and continuous COD, cream and protein data, in addition to event notification. The water quality data from Real Tech’s probe proved invaluable, enabling the plant to better monitor their effluent and identify cream spills, giving them a new opportunity to optimize production and reduce wastewater surcharges from the municipality.
