VA Poultry-Processing Plant Meets Stringent Nitrogen Limits With EOSi’s MicroC® 2000 and Nitrack® Automation

A large Virginia poultry-processing plant coping with highly variable wastewater flows and loadings turns to EOSi’s MicroC® carbon sources and Nitrack® Program dosing automation to achieve consistent BNR performance for permit compliance — and avoiding costly and disruptive capital upgrades.

This poultry plant slaughters, processes and packages up to 200,000 chickens per day. The plant renders offal, blood and fats from on-site operations and other poultry processing facilities. Wastewater from the poultry plant is treated on-site and must meet strict standards for biological nutrient removal (BNR) to protect the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
