NSW food processing - case study
Wastewater reduction system for a New South Wales food processing facility.
XPEL worked with a leading food processing facility in New South Wales, Australia, to manage the high volumes of wastewater generated from it’s food processing operations. We delivered a reliable and sustainable solution through a mechanical evaporation system built to stabilize wastewater volumes, ensure compliance with environmental regulations and support continuous plant performance.
With a volume throughput of 600 GPM (135 m³/hour), the system delivered consistent wastewater reduction across the facility. This performance helped maintain production efficiency, lowered pressure on disposal pathways, and strengthened compliance with strict environmental standards. The solution also supported the facility’s sustainability goals by reducing stored wastewater and improving overall water balance control.
Advanced water evaporation system for food processing leader by XPEL.
The Shoalhaven food processing operation generates substantial wastewater from washing, cooking, and cleaning. XPEL's advanced evaporation technology is aligned with the facility’s ongoing challenge of managing high wastewater volumes while operating with limited storage and demanding production schedules.
With a throughput of 135 m³/hour (600 GPM), the system reduced wastewater levels at a reliable rate and restored the operating space required for proper disposal. XPEL evaporation system reduced stored water, supported regulatory compliance, and eased stress on downstream treatment assets. These capabilities are critical for facilities operating under tight environmental oversight and high production loads.
