Case Study
Manufacturer Stops Slug Spikes with Joruva OWS7000
A Southeast food packaging plant plagued by slug discharges and recurring media burnout found stability with Joruva. By deploying the OWS7000 and fixing drain layouts, the team achieved consistent discharge compliance even under storm-season humidity stress.

Background
Slug discharges and media burnout became routine as high humidity and poor drain layouts pushed oily condensate through in bursts. The plant faced recurring O&G exceedances and growing compliance pressure.
Challenge
- 8/10 pain intensity: slug spikes burned out media in <6 months.
- Recurring exceedances threatened compliance and audits.
- Maintenance load stretched technicians with premature swaps.
Solution
- Installed OWS7000 with Reactis™ additive for high-load humid conditions.
- Reconfigured drains and equalization piping to prevent slug surges.
- Shifted to SERVKIT7000 predictable maintenance cycles (<30 min service).
Results
- 0 exceedances through storm season.
- 4× media life in humid/high-load conditions compared to pre-install cycles.
- 30 min PM kept maintenance lean and predictable.
- Stable year-round compliance across high humidity conditions.
“Storm season used to mean alarms, overflow, and media swaps. The OWS7000 gave us stable performance — compliance is no longer a moving target.”
— Environmental Engineer, Southeast Packaging Plant
