Process Industries
Many process industries have occasional problems with lost raw material or product to floors or drains that can be problematic and costly for both the business and compliance with discharge consents to the surrounding environment. Every process in every industry varies depending on product and production process, which means detection and quantification can be difficult.
DCM can simplify this process by providing a range of measurement equipment in a site/application appropriate to allow online monitoring systems to provide readings of the most appropriate parameters to:
Detect and Quantify undesired losses
Identify problematic elements
Define ROI on correction
Prove benefit gained by every $ spent
Lower disposal costs
Maximise process efficiency
Reduce environmental impacts
We can provide the instruments, installation, maintenance, online monitoring systems and real time /management reporting and analysis that are required in this process. This comes with access to our extensive knowledge and experience of most industries that has been gained from many years of working in the business.
Brewing
Water consumption, wastewater and solid liquid separation are becoming large problems in the brewing industry. This is mainly due to the many chemical, biochemical and solid liquid separation processes that beer and wine go through. These processes ultimately lead to wastewater that is full of various organic components such as BOD and suspended solids, these components make treatment of wastewater difficult to predict because of fluctuations. Consequently, fixing this problem by efficiently addressing losses and stabilising these fluctuations provides significant economic benefits and optimises pre-treatment systems.
Brewery Graph This is where DCM process control can help.
Our services (whether it is supplying the analytic tools or the data analysis) can provide customers in the brewing industry with the tools to effectively measure and control the levels of organic and solid components present in their wastewater.

Dairy Waste
Instant loss recognition
Product recovery
Reduced disposal costs
Identify process issues
Wastewater from manufacturing plants in the dairy industry has changed as the industry has grown. Larger sites combined with a wider range of products (and therefore by-products) meas significant advantage to those able to identify and quantify loss sources and volumes. Loss prevention, separation of lost material by type for waste processing, reuse, treatment and disposal. These organic components often include elements such as protein, lactose, fat and nitrate. Poor treatment due to stock loadings and changing composition result in poor on site treatment plant performance. The resultant non compliant excessive concentrations discharged to waterways compromise both the receiving environment and attract both fines and bad press.
DCM can help prevent this by qualifying and quantifying the different components if your wastewater in real time using IoT integrated standalone and portable monitoring stations containing a site appropriate combination of state of the art analytical instruments. This combines with our highly valued technical knowledge, custom algorithms and experience gained from many years experience in the industry.

Meat Processing
Instant loss recognition
Product recovery
Reduced disposal costs
Identify process issues
Many problems have been reported with unwanted components appearing in the wastewater from the meat processing industry. Abattoir waste often contains high levels of components such as COD from blood, along with suspended solids, nitrogen and ammonia. While waste is inevitable, most sites can provably reduce discharged loads by more than 40% while putting more of the waste into value added product.
DCM Process Control can help achieve these reductions by providing an effective site wide waste generation analysis. DCM can provide the necessary sensing equipment to identify and quantify losses in real time by source as well as the data processing and technical knowledge that will assist in identifying causes and evaluating cost/benefit of changes required to improving loss prevention and on site pre-treatment processes. DCM can also assist in discussions with regulators to ensure win win outcomes for industry and receiver.
