Advancing Pet Food Manufacturing Wastewater Treatment

Many of us rely on pet food manufacturers to provide high-quality and nutritious food products that keep our pets happy and healthy. As part of this process, pet food manufacturing facilities must render and blend animal proteins, vegetables, grains and other organic ingredients to produce wholesome, well-balanced wet and dry food products. In doing so, however, pet food manufacturing plants inevitably generate wastewater with high levels of contaminants that can significantly impact ecosystems and public health if not properly treated.

Given these factors, developing an effective solution to treat wastewater prior to its reintroduction to the environment is critical. At the same time, it isn’t always a clear-cut process, requiring the right combination of physical, chemical and biological processes rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

To help you select the best wastewater treatment plan for pet food manufacturing applications, this paper provides a helpful overview of the types of contaminants you will encounter and describes the different solutions available to ensure you achieve required effluent regulations. It will also explore integrated wastewater technologies that not only effectively remove the contaminants, but also offer cost, energy and performance advantages.
