Description. An increasingly viable option for companies is the "zero-discharge" system.
Many food-processing facilities are looking to pretreatment options that can help reduce the
amount of lost product. Once a part of the food product is lost to a waste stream, it represents
a decrease in product utilization and an increase in treatment costs. A large capital
expenditure and a customized treatment solution are required to handle a zero-discharge
option. Furthermore, the uniqueness of the various food-processing operations makes it
impossible to find "off-the-shelf" treatment designs to fit a user’s needs.
