Sustainable Solutions

CFR prides itself on providing our customers with wastewater treatment systems that are sustainable, both from an environmental and economical perspective. We understand that each project is unique, and we custom engineer each project to deliver the most economical process to meet the project goals. Our treatment processes have been optimized to manage the unique challenges that are common when treating wastewater from food and beverage manufacturing.

As discharge regulations become more stringent, aerobic and anaerobic membrane bioreactor systems are becoming the go-to process for food and beverage production facilities due to their inherent assurance of high-quality effluent in the face of widely varying wastewater flow and organic loading. These variations are known to be the ‘Achilles heel’ of traditional wastewater treatment systems. Our team has an integrated staff capable of providing innovative analysis and application of appropriate technical solutions to meet all of your water/wastewater management challenges.
