The meat, poultry, and seafood industries use water in nearly every step of production. Regardless of whether the final product is fresh, cured, frozen, or cooked, the process results in a lot of wastewater, which is often difficult to treat. Production is becoming more expensive as prices for feed, energy, and land continue to rise. Environmental regulations are stricter than ever before, challenging slaughterhouses, rendering plants, and processing plants to comply with discharge limits while still earning a profit.
Case Studies
Pet Food Plant Installs Wastewater Treatment System Fit for Humans
ADI® membrane bioreactor (MBR) generates pristine effluent in just four months time.
New production lines at plant resulted in increase in wastewater flow and load, which exceeded capacity at the municipal plant. Therefore, pet food manufacturing plant needed an on-site wastewater treatment system.
Food Processor Upgrades Boiler Feedwater System to Meet Peak Demand
The protein processor’s decision came as the plant’s existing boiler feed RO system was showing signs of age. Rated at 75 gpm, it was having trouble meeting the boiler’s peak demand for treated feedwater. In addition, the existing system lacked the capacity to support a planned expansion of the plant. The processor planned to install a new primary 75 gpm RO system and relegate the legacy system to an on-demand backup role.
