Cutting Room Wastewater

Cutting and boning operations generate wastewater containing meat trimmings, fat particles, and bone fragments. This str

Engineered Performance

Every system is designed for your specific wastewater characteristics, flow profile, and effluent targets. No off-the-shelf assumptions — just validated process engineering.

Proven Reliability

Equipment selected from manufacturers with proven field performance in similar applications. Duty/standby arrangements and robust construction minimise unplanned downtime.

Environmental Compliance

Design targets are set at 50-70% of consent limits, providing a safety margin for process variation. Continuous monitoring and automated reporting demonstrate compliance.

Operator Friendly

Intuitive controls, clear instrumentation, and accessible maintenance points reduce training requirements. Standard operating procedures written in plain language.

Technical Support

Direct access to our process engineers for operational advice, troubleshooting, and optimisation. Remote diagnostics and rapid on-site response keep your plant running.

Quality Assurance

Materials certified to EN 10204 3.1, welding procedures qualified to ISO 9606, and pressure testing to 1.5x design pressure. Full traceability from mill to commissioning.

Solids Management

Rotary drum screens capture meat particles and bone fragments before they can damage pumps or interfere with advanced bi

Coarse Screening

6mm bar screens or perforated drum screens remove large debris, packaging, and gross solids. Protects pumps and prevents pipe blockage downstream.

Fine Screening

1-3mm step screens or mesh sieves capture smaller fibres, hair, and particulate matter. Essential before biological treatment to prevent diffuser and membrane fouling.

Grit Removal

Aerated grit chambers or vortex separators remove sand, gravel, and glass. Prevents abrasion of pumps and accumulation in tanks that reduces effective volume.

Primary Settlement

Gravity clarifiers remove settleable solids through sedimentation. Chemical coagulants improve removal efficiency for colloidal and fine suspended matter.

Floatables Removal

DAF and API separators remove oil, grease, and fat that float to the surface. Skimming mechanisms transfer recovered material to storage for disposal or recycling.

Solids Handling

Screenings and settled sludge are dewatered by screw presses, belt presses, or centrifuges. Volume reduction of 80-95% minimises transport and disposal requirements.

Polishing Treatment

DAF flotation removes remaining fats and fine solids, producing an effluent suitable for advanced biological treatment o
