Increased Evaporator Performance for Sugar Beets

Project Scope USP Technologies and a sugar beet processing plant in the US developed a cleaning strategy to use high concentrations of hydrogen peroxide to remove year-over-year burnt on scale inside multi-phase plate pack evaporators. This scale had caused reduced evaporation performance which resulted in evaporation becoming the rate limiting step in the sugar production process. Five plate pack evaporators were cleaned over a two-year period, resulting in increased sugar production. USP provided turn-key solution including chemical supply & inventory management, custom-built equipment, and local & remote technical support.   Read More For the full case study, Evaporator Cleaning – Stubborn Scale Removal

Struvite Reduction via PRI-TECH®

In May 2020, San Antonio Water Systems (SAWS) initiated testing to quantify the impacts and economics of Peroxide Regenerated Iron-Technology (PRI-TECH™) for reducing orthophosphate in the solids dewatering facility at the Steven M Clause Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) for the purpose of struvite reduction. Positive results from the 2020 jar testing indicated that an additional PRI-TECH™ application at the dewatering step could potentially achieve an 80% reduction infiltrate orthophosphate, and other case studies indicated a further potential for reductions in polymer usage. Ultimately, SAWS implemented a PRI-TECH™ demonstration program with goals of struvite reduction, improved dewatering performance, and polymer reduction. USP installed a hydrogen peroxide storage and feed system at the outlet of the digested sludge holding tank prior to the day tanks and polymer. The ortho-P reduction was analyzed by using the HACH™ TNT method 846 analyzing the filtrate before chemical addition (avg. 130mg/L) and the filtrate from the belt filter presses (61mg/L), a 53% reduction on average at start-up with a dosage of 200-250mg/L of H2O2. Due to lower-than-expected performance, the target peroxide dose rate was increased to 400mg/and resulted in 80% removal of orthophosphate (173mg/L observed in digestate and 29 mg/L observed in filtrate). As a result of operational changes in the day tank levels, it remains difficult to maintain a consistent peroxide dose rate of 400 mg/L. Though struvite formation has ceased, due to the inconsistent dose performance, the anticipated dewatering improvements have not yet been observed.
