DES PLAINES, Ill., Oct. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Honeywell
(NYSE: HON) UOP announced today that its novel wastewater
treatment technology will be used to help a fresh-cut fruit and
vegetables company treat wastewater.
Honeywell UOP is delivering its modular XCeed™ bioreactor
technology as part of a system to remove biological oxygen demand
(BOD) from water that was used to clean and process fresh produce.
The unit will treat roughly 150,000 gallons per day and return that
water for reuse or for discharge, based on local discharge
standards.
Honeywell UOP's XCeed bioreactor technology removes organic and
inorganic contaminants to help industrial, manufacturing and
groundwater remediation facilities meet contaminant removal
specifications for wastewater reuse or discharge. The modular
technology was selected over other technologies due to its low
sludge generation, greater energy efficiency and operational
simplicity.
"Honeywell UOP is delivering this project as a modular turn-key
solution, which is delivered quickly, and is less expensive and
more reliable than field-constructed units," said Ken Stacherski, vice president and general
manager of Honeywell UOP's Catalysts, Adsorbents and Specialties
business. "With more than 50 successful installations, the XCeed
bioreactor system is a reliable and cost-effective solution for
food and beverage companies, chemical and textile manufacturers,
refinery and petrochemical facilities, and groundwater remediation
to meet increasingly strict wastewater regulations and reuse
requirements worldwide."
Honeywell UOP's expertise in bioreactor design, applied
microbiology and process control makes possible extended biomass
retention time, which improves the removal of organics and other
targeted contaminants. As a result, through multiple applications
over the last 25 years, the XCeed system has been shown to produce
as much as 80 percent less sludge, consumes up to half as much
energy and requires less maintenance and operator supervision than
conventional technologies.
For more than a century, Honeywell UOP has been developing
technologies for the world's oil and gas companies, including
solutions for the separation and removal of contaminants in liquids
and gases. For more information on Honeywell UOP's XCeed bioreactor
