In the realm of wastewater management, the treatment of ink waste presents unique challenges, particularly for industries like printing that service fast food companies. In this blog post, we explore the insights shared by Jordan Polotan, a seasoned professional in the paper industry, on how the Biocleaner system has transformed wastewater treatment processes without the use of harmful chemicals.
Jordan Polotan has been involved in the paper business since 1993, with extensive experience in Indonesia and the Philippines. Since 2001, he has represented various paper mills in the Philippines, focusing on clients in the fast food sector. His expertise has been instrumental in addressing wastewater treatment issues faced by printing companies that require food-grade standards.
One of Jordan's clients faced significant challenges in passing wastewater tests, risking shutdown due to their discharge problems. The client had been struggling with high levels of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), with BOD levels ranging from 5,000 to 6,000 and COD levels between 10,000 to 12,000 over five years of data.
Thanks to the Biocleaner system, Jordan was able to assist his client in overcoming these challenges. The system utilizes a simple setup, including a one-meter feeder tube and a two-horsepower ring blower, to effectively treat the wastewater. The results were remarkable:
The Biocleaner system has not only improved the quality of the wastewater but also streamlined operations:
The success of the Biocleaner system has led to increased interest from other clients. Many have visited the plant to witness the results firsthand, with a significant number opting to purchase their own Biocleaner systems. Jordan humorously notes that he should be rewarded for the referrals generated through these visits.
The Biocleaner system represents a significant advancement in the treatment of ink waste in wastewater plants. By eliminating the need for harmful chemicals and reducing operational costs, it not only benefits the environment but also enhances the efficiency of wastewater management processes. For those in the printing industry facing similar challenges, Jordan Polotan is available to provide assistance and insights into implementing this innovative solution.
