industrial plant is pumped into an aerated equalisation tank, which is <strong>of</strong> bolted carbon<br />

steel construction, <strong>and</strong> is then pumped continuously into a dissolved air flotation<br />

(DAF) process for FOG <strong>and</strong> solids removal. <strong>The</strong> DAF float is stored <strong>and</strong> tankered<br />

to a rendering facility.<br />

<strong>The</strong> DAF effluent is pumped to the bioreactor tank, also <strong>of</strong> bolted carbon steel construction.<br />

A coarse bubble diffuser grid distributes air into the bioreactor from positive<br />

displacement blowers. Caustic soda <strong>and</strong> phosphorous can be added to the<br />

biological process by chemical metering stations. Mixed liquor from the bioreactor
