pH Control System
The Mondelez site in Sheffield produces a range of different candy products including liquorish, soft mints and jellies. Trade effluent is generated from 3 different locations throughout the production processes on site. Trade effluent was treated using an on site pH control systems before discharging to sewer.
A basic pH correction system at each location was not performing as required, breaching the Yorkshire Water consent limits repeatedly.
MSA were commissioned by Mondelez to review the issues with the existing systems and assess the causes of the pH control system malfunctioning. MSA produced a design specification to ensure that full compliance against the Yorkshire Water pH consent limits could be achieved.
The new treatment system designed by MSA brought all trade effluent to one location where balancing and a new pH correction system was installed. The project was awarded to CAP Technology and MSA were retained to assist FLI CAP with their design package to ensure that the proposed plant wasfit for purpose. The new plant was commissioned in 2017.
