Cut millions in regulatory fines, reduce cost-to-treat by 50%, PAM by 80%, and labor by 35% with flocculants, coagulants, and pre-treatment optimized for dairy wastewater.
Dairy wastewater is erratic, often causing crews to overdose chemicals, gum up machinery, and blow past permit levels. CarboNet chemistry simplifies operations and has helped the world’s largest dairy producers cut OPEX and CAPEX while slashing emissions.

North America’s largest dairy producer needed tighter control over its wastewater system. Their DAF and belt press systems relied on high polymer doses but still produced variable results, with off-spec performance and rising treatment costs.
The facility runs DAF clarification and sludge dewatering to manage high-strength dairy effluent. They needed a chemistry program that could improve TSS control, increase cake solids, and reduce polymer volumes—all without overhauling existing infrastructure.
The problem: Operators struggled with off-spec TSS during high flows and inconsistent belt press performance. Tote handling and dilution water requirements added operational burden. Meanwhile, polymer costs were rising and permit violations became a serious concern.
The solution: Over a 10-day trial, the facility tested SimpleFloc on the DAF and belt presses. SimpleFloc products were injected using the plant’s existing Velodyne units and Venturi system. Operators monitored performance across flow changes, maintenance cycles, and minor dosing issues. CarboNet supported optimization throughout.
The result: SimpleFloc was selected to run in production because it achieved better solids capture, higher cake dryness, and lower chemical OPEX. Floc quality held up under upset conditions, reducing effluent carryover. Belt press cake solids rose from 14.3% to 15.7%, while polyacrylamide use dropped by 62%. Additionally, no infrastructure changes were needed.
CarboNet chemistry improves water clarity, dramatically reducing TSS in wastewater. Lower TSS means less fouling, less wasted labor, and fewer permit breaches—saving some producers millions in fines alone.
NanoNets power every CarboNet formulation at the molecular level to improve clarity, reduce waste, and accelerate water treatment across systems.
NanoNet flocculants drain faster and more completely—even at lower doses—compared to traditional polymers. The chemistry simplifies prep and holds up when flow, solids, or equipment conditions shift.
The result: CarboNet products are more consistent, reliable, and cost-effective.
From the first call to on-site trials takes a few weeks. Full-scale deployment can be ready in 1–2 months—just in time for your quarterly earnings.
