Meat processing

The meat-processing industry is among the largest consumers of water and producers of wastewater within the food sector. Its wastewater frequently contains high concentrations of organic matter, fats, oils, and solids, as well as elevated levels of nitrogen and phosphates.

Consequently, CUSS GmbH employs combined anaerobic and aerobic treatment processes, which enable the efficient reduction of pollutants and nutrients. At the same time, the anaerobic treatment process generates biogas; once appropriately processed, this can be used for energy within the facility or fed into the public gas grid.
