Value Recovery Opportunity

Poultry processing wastewater contains valuable proteins and fats that can be recovered and sold to rendering facilities. This creates an additional value stream while reducing the organic load on your treatment system.

Output Generation

Recovered proteins and fats can be sold to rendering facilities, generating -150 per tonne depending on market conditions.

Reduced Organic Load

By-product recovery can reduce BOD loading by 30-50%, decreasing advanced biological treatment requirements and energy requirements.

Circular Economy

Transforming waste into valuable products supports sustainability goals and reduces environmental impact.

Improved project benefits

Recovery systems typically achieve project benefits within 2-4 years through combined output and operational benefits.

Recovery Technologies

Our DAF flotation systems with specialised polymer chemistry effectively concentrate proteins and fats into a high-solids sludge suitable for rendering. Screw presses further dewater the recovered material, maximising product value while minimising disposal requirements.

DAF Concentration

Dissolved Air Flotation with optimised polymer dosing concentrates proteins and fats into a high-solids float suitable for rendering.

  • 15-25% solids concentration
  • 85-92% protein recovery
  • Continuous skimmer operation

Screw Press Dewatering

High-performance screw presses further dewater recovered material to 25-35% solids, maximising product value per tonne.

  • 25-35% cake solids
  • Reduced transport rates
  • Low energy consumption

Polymer Systems

Automated polyelectrolyte dosing systems optimise coagulation for maximum solids capture and dewatering performance.

  • Precise dosing control
  • Multiple polymer options
  • Reduced chemical requirements

By-Product Recovery Process

Screening

Preliminary screening removes coarse solids and feathers before protein recovery.

Polymer Conditioning

Polyelectrolyte addition promotes coagulation of proteins and fats for efficient separation.

DAF Flotation

Micro-bubbles attach to conditioned solids, floating them to the surface for collection.

Skimming

Automated skimmer removes concentrated float material from the DAF surface.

Dewatering

Screw press reduces moisture content, creating a high-value cake for rendering.

Storage & Transport

Dewatered material is stored and transported to rendering facilities for processing.
