KROFTA TECHNOLOGIES AWARDED PROJECT FOR DAIRY FARMERS OF AMERICA ZUMBROTA, MN PLANT

Krofta Technologies, an Ecovation company, has been selected by Dairy Farmers of America to install a DAF (Dissolved Air Flotation) system in its Zumbrota, MN, plant to treat FOG (fats, oils and grease), BOD (biochemical oxygen demand) and other suspended solids.

Krofta will install a rental DAF while the permanent skid-mounted system is manufactured, providing immediate cost savings for DFA. The company is currently paying high surcharges to the local municipal wastewater treatment facility because of the high strength of its waste stream. Estimates indicate that the savings will pay for the new DAF system in approximately one year.

In addition to the Zumbrota installation, Ecovation recently signed contracts with Dairy Farmers of America (DFA) to operate six wastewater treatment plants in Monnett and Cabool, MO; Lovington, NM; Sulphur Springs, TX; Winnsboro, TX; and New Wilmington, PA. Each facility will have Ecovation staff on site to operate and maintain existing equipment, as well as implement new operating and asset protection programs.
