How Viltra provided a turnkey wastewater treatment solution for a meat processor in Northern Ireland.
Client Overview
A well-established meat processing company based in Northern Ireland approached Viltra with a pressing need to improve its wastewater treatment capabilities.
As production levels increased, the site was struggling to remain within its existing discharge consent limits. With no internal expertise in effluent treatment, the company required a trusted partner to deliver a compliant and efficient solution that would support their operational growth.
Challenges
The project presented several technical and logistical challenges. One of the primary issues was the complex nature of the influent stream, which consisted of both solid and liquid waste from the production facility. The composition and flow of this wastewater varied significantly depending on the plant’s operating conditions, making it difficult to design a one-size-fits-all solution.
The client also needed support in understanding how to meet regulatory requirements and respond to queries from environmental authorities.
Our Solution
Viltra delivered a fully bespoke, turnkey wastewater treatment system tailored to the site’s unique needs.
Viltra began by conducting its own sampling and analysis to gain a clear understanding of the influent characteristics and to validate the client’s existing data. This was followed by laboratory jar testing to ensure that the proposed treatment process would be effective under real-world conditions. Based on these findings, Viltra designed and delivered a bespoke wastewater treatment system tailored to the site’s specific needs.
System design and installation:
• Inlet pumping station
• Drum screen
• Below-ground balance tank
• Pumped and metered feed into a belt screen
• Chemical dosing prior to screening
• Sludge collection tank
• Two custom-built containers housing the belt screen, control panel, and chemical storage
Viltra managed every aspect of the project, from design and manufacture to installation and ongoing servicing. The team worked closely with the client’s construction team and provided guidance on how to address regulatory concerns. The result was a fully compliant, efficient system that met the client’s operational and environmental goals. Viltra’s willingness to collaborate with a demanding, family-run business and deliver a full turnkey solution was a key factor in the project’s success.
