Abstract
An agricultural processing system includes a process that uses water and produces wastewater having insoluble solids, a pump configured to receive and pressurize the wastewater from the process, and a plurality of centrifugal separators connected in parallel and configured to receive the wastewater from the pump. The separators are each configured to separate out the insoluble solids from the wastewater to produce a cleaned wastewater.
Claims7
An agricultural processing system, comprising:
- an inlet supply for supplying a liquid to be treated, wherein the liquid comprises an aqueous suspension comprising insoluble solids;
- the inlet supply is in fluid communication with a process that uses water and produces wastewater comprising the insoluble solids, wherein the process is a chiller, a scalder, or a food washing process;
- a pump configured to receive and pressurize the wastewater from the process;
- a plurality of centrifugal separators connected in parallel and configured to receive the wastewater from the pump;
- and
- one or more sensors in communication with a control panel, the control panel comprising a display configured to display data from the one or more sensors;
- wherein the separators are each configured to separate out at least a portion of the insoluble solids from the wastewater to produce a cleaned wastewater;
- and
- wherein the cleaned wastewater is recycled into the process.
