High-strength wastewater treatment for poultry kill floor operations including blood, viscera, and processing water.
Wastewater treatment for cut-up & deboning wastewater. Feather, blood and fat removal for poultry processing compliance.
Treatment for high-protein poultry processing wastewater. Rendering plant effluent with fat and solids separation.
Wastewater treatment for poultry processing wastewater treatment.
Specialised wastewater treatment for poultry feather processing.
Slaughtering and evisceration operations generate the highest-strength wastewater in poultry processing, with BOD concen
Every system is designed for your specific wastewater characteristics, flow profile, and effluent targets. No off-the-shelf assumptions — just validated process engineering.
Equipment selected from manufacturers with proven field performance in similar applications. Duty/standby arrangements and robust construction minimise unplanned downtime.
Design targets are set at 50-70% of consent limits, providing a safety margin for process variation. Continuous monitoring and automated reporting demonstrate compliance.
Intuitive controls, clear instrumentation, and accessible maintenance points reduce training requirements. Standard operating procedures written in plain language.
Direct access to our process engineers for operational advice, troubleshooting, and optimisation. Remote diagnostics and rapid on-site response keep your plant running.
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.
DAF flotation systems effectively remove blood solids, fats, and suspended materials before advanced biological treatmen
6mm bar screens or perforated drum screens remove large debris, packaging, and gross solids. Protects pumps and prevents pipe blockage downstream.
1-3mm step screens or mesh sieves capture smaller fibres, hair, and particulate matter. Essential before biological treatment to prevent diffuser and membrane fouling.
Aerated grit chambers or vortex separators remove sand, gravel, and glass. Prevents abrasion of pumps and accumulation in tanks that reduces effective volume.
Gravity clarifiers remove settleable solids through sedimentation. Chemical coagulants improve removal efficiency for colloidal and fine suspended matter.
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.
Screenings and settled sludge are dewatered by screw presses, belt presses, or centrifuges. Volume reduction of 80-95% minimises transport and disposal requirements.
High-rate MBBR systems handle the remaining organic load with compact footprint designs. Specialised microbial populatio

Poultry processing wastewater is characterised by high organic loads, blood, fats, oils, feathers, and suspended solids. Treatment trains typically combine screening, DAF flotation for fat and protein recovery, biological oxidation for dissolved organics, and disinfection for pathogen control. Water reuse systems can recycle up to 70% of process water for non-potable applications.
DAF systems capture protein-rich solids for rendering or animal feed ingredient production.
High-efficiency flotation removes poultry fat for recovery as tallow or biodiesel feedstock.
UV or chlorination systems ensure compliance with microbiological discharge standards.
Membrane filtration and advanced oxidation enable recycling for equipment washdown.
