$100M Greenfield Rendering Facility – Waterform NZ Industrial Water Treatment Solutions

ultraBiox™ Biological Nutrient Removal (BNR) Wastewater Treatment Plant

Waterform have recently completed an ultraBiox™ tank-based biological wastewater treatment plant for a protein recovery facility, as part of a $100M industrial development. This is one of the world’s most advanced greenfield rendering sites.

The wastewater treatment plant utilises the latest IFAS technology to achieve stringent nutrient discharge limits with a minimal footprint.

The benefits of IFAS technology include:

Reduced footprint compared to traditional wastewater solutions used in the red meat industry (open / covered lagoons
High-rate continuous wastewater technology (i.e. key advantage compared to SBR technology)
Nutrient reduction performance and ability to meet tight equirements
More resilient to variations in wastewater loads and biological shock events
Improved odour performance due to low retention time and exposure to atmosphere
