In the demanding environment of the meat & poultry industry, effective water management is crucial. Traditionally, the industry has relied on mechanical screening followed by dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems for treatment of wastewater. However, new environmental standards and a growing focus on sustainability have prompted a shift toward more advanced and efficient technologies.
To support this growing market demand, ZwitterCo has developed a direct filtration solution featuring superfiltration (SF) membranes that provides the protein industry with a robust and reliable alternative to a DAF. In this case study, we will review how our technology was able to support customer goals by treating total plant wastewater from their poultry harvesting facility with no DAF chemicals, eliminate the need for a secondary DAF, and meet all discharge requirements defined by the local municipality.
