Wastewater Treatment

Meat-processing operations with legacy infrastructure are finding it increasingly difficult to meet ever-tightening wastewater regulations.

The meat processing facility had historically used an in-house skim tank design to treat production wastewater.  The skim tanks have been modified over the years to meet decreasing effluent limits, but more improvements were necessary.

A large city municipality was drastically increasing sewer surcharge rates. As the costs were approaching $40,000/month for this meatpacking plant, action was necessary to start controlling these costs.

This dairy manufactures fluid milk, dairy-based mixes, yogurts and juices. For several years, the facility was using a CAF system to treat its wastewater prior to discharge. The system performed inconsistently and operational costs approached $14/1000 gallons treated.

The Connecticut egg processor has three production facilities within close proximity of each other. Two of the facilities had no wastewater treatment and hauled wastewater to a local municipal facility. The third facility utilized outdated, undersized ponds prior to land application.

Rumiano Cheese is one of the oldest dairy processing operations in the western U.S. At one time, the firm totaled 13 processing plants dotted along the Pacific Coast. Notably ahead of its time, they were the first dairy operation with an ammonia refrigeration system on the West Coast.

In 2017, a southwest dairy plant received exciting new contracts to expand its dairy, non-dairy and mixes business. This increase in business demanded the plant expand its production lines, which in turn required the plant to evaluate its wastewater treatment operations.

Alchemist Brewery is a microbrewery specializing in brewing, packaging and distributing its award-winning IPA beer, Heady Topper. An unprecedented following of the signature ale drove the need for a larger brewery and retail sales center.

In 2005, World Water Works, Inc. provided a Turnkey wastewater treatment system to a Midwestern bacon processing plant. Throughout the next several years, the system successfully maintained discharge compliance even as production continued to grow well beyond the designed capacity of the system.

This dairy manufactures ice cream, fluid milk and other dairy products. Escalating sewer surcharges of over $30,000/month were a concern. World Water Works installed the www/RESOURCE Dissolved Air Flotation system to pre-treat the wastewater.

World Water Works, Inc. was awarded the design and supply of the above-listed technologies for two main reasons. The MBBR -> DAF process was demonstrated to be the most robust, forgiving, and consistent technology of the many that were evaluated.

Butterball had historically used multiple Habersham DAF units that utilized a significant amount of both power and chemistry to achieve their removal goals. In addition to the high power/chemical requirements, the DAF units were at their capacity limits and Butterball had the need to process additional waters.

A frozen vegetable company was the premier supplier of individually quick-frozen onions, potatoes, roasted potatoes and vegetable blends to large food service companies.

The Kansas Dairy processing facility had originally worked with an equipment supplier that provided them with a system that was improperly designed and utilized inefficient equipment and design concepts.

In 2016, the egg processing facility of a leading US marketer of premium, further-processed egg products was given a consent order by the local government to treat its wastewater for BOD, TKN and TSS prior to discharge to the local municipal treatment facility.

This dairy was facing escalating sewer surcharges of over $30,000/month. World Water Works installed the www/ RESOURCE Dissolved Air Flotation system to pre-treat the wastewater. Since its startup, the facility has reduced its wastewater costs by over $20,000/month.

This dairy manufactures fluid milk, dairy-based mixes, yogurts and juices. For several years, the facility was using a CAF system to treat its wastewater prior to discharge. The system performed inconsistently and operational costs were enormous.

Plainville Farms produce turkeys using all-natural ingredients, no antibiotics, no animal by-products as feed, and renewable energy is used. Plainville Farms has been producing healthy and responsible food products since 1835. Traditionally, the wastewater generated from the facility has been directed to a marsh field.
