Maple Leaf Canada: 50% Ferric Cut, $47.5k Saved

Home 9 Case Studies and Results 9 Maple Leaf Canada: 50% Ferric Cut, $47.5k Saved
Key results
50% ferric reduction
91.8% cBOD reduction
$47.5k annual chemical savings

The Challenges

  • Ferric dosing fixed at 200 ppm
  • High chemical cost and carbon impact
  • System running near operational limits
  • Risk of fines if limits exceeded

The Solution

Two HydroFLOW® Custom units (12″ and 14″) were fitted to the DAF feed lines in October 2023 for a 90-day trial. The signal improves flocculation, so staged ferric reduction held discharge compliance while cutting chemical cost and carbon footprint.

Key Outcomes

R

Ferric chloride cut from 200 ppm to 100 ppm

R

Discharge parameters stayed within limits

R

Up to 91.8% cBOD reduction achieved

R

Annual savings of $47,500 delivered

Independent Verification

All results in this study were measured and verified by third-party facilities managers and technical staff.
