Water Treatment Solutions for
Meat & Pet Food Processing

Built for Demanding Sanitation & Variable Wastewater Conditions

Protein processing facilities operate under some of the most stringent safety and environmental requirements in manufacturing. Newterra delivers integrated water, wastewater, odor control, and reuse systems designed to protect product quality, maintain compliance, and control operating costs. Our modular solutions help facilities manage high-strength, variable waste streams while improving sustainability and community impact.

Odor Treatment

Odor control is a challenge in meat processing facilities due to the release of odorous compounds from rendering, raw material handling areas, and wastewater treatment. Newterra supplies a variety of odor treatment technologies to remove hydrogen sulfide, volatile organic compounds, and other odor-causing compounds from exhaust air streams and lagoons.

Built for Meat Challenges

Meat industry wastewater is highly variable, with fluctuating flows, organic loadings, and cleaning chemicals that need to be equalized before biological treatment. Newterra designs wastewater treatment systems to manage these variations while consistently meeting effluent discharge limits.

Water Reuse

The meat industry requires significant volumes of water, making reuse a critical component of sustainability strategies. Newterra provides centralized and point-source reuse solutions that help meat facilities reduce freshwater use, support facility expansions, and meet environmental goals.

Aeration and Mixing

Wastewater ponds and lagoons are frequently used in meat processing facilities to treat wastewater using natural biological processes. Newterra has proven aeration and mixing technologies that provide uniform oxygen transfer and mixing, preventing solids settling, improving odor control, and ensuring reliable treatment performance.
