→ APPLICATIONS / ANIMAL BY-PRODUCT RENDERING
Highly organic wastewater from animal rendering is a challenging industrial effluent, rich in fats, oils, greases (FOG), proteins, and solids from by-products. It requires a sustainable, ongoing solution to reduce varying wastewater volumes accumulated in this process. XPEL’s evaporation solution is designed to process and reduce wastewater with high variability in influent quality generated by from rendering animal by products.
RENDERING ANIMAL BY PRODUCTS
Rendering animal by-products produces wastewater rich in fats, proteins, grease, and suspended solids that quickly overwhelms storage ponds and strains downstream treatment systems.
These streams fluctuate with production cycles, creating unpredictable inflows that drive odor risk, storage pressure and compliance concerns.
Tightening discharge expectations and rising sustainability demands intensify the challenge for facilities operating with limited treatment capacity or ageing infrastructure. Expanding traditional treatment is often costly or impractical, increasing the need for upstream volume reduction to keep operations stable.
XPEL provides an engineered evaporation solution that physically removes clean water from wastewater ponds, leaving concentrated organic material behind for controlled management and resource recovery. The system’s high throughput remains consistent even as wastewater characteristics shift, helping operators stabilise storage levels and reduce odour-prone stagnation.
By reducing the total stored liquid volume, the XPEL evaporator eases pressure on primary treatment assets and supports more predictable operation across intensive rendering environments. This approach enables facilities to manage high-organic wastewater with greater confidence and build a stronger, long-term water-management strategy without altering existing treatment chemistry.
Rendering animal by product application.
Rendering facilities manage wastewater streams with high organic loads, fats, proteins and suspended solids that place continuous pressure on lagoons, dissolved air flotation (DAF) units and biological treatment systems. XPEL evaporation systems reduce the liquid volume in wastewater ponds before it reaches those downstream assets, lowering hydraulic load and improving operational stability.
By limiting the amount of liquid, disposal facilities can reduce hauling frequency, cut odor exposure around storage areas, and maintain steadier performance in environments where wastewater chemistry shifts with every production cycle. XPEL evaporators fit seamlessly alongside existing treatment infrastructure as a practical, mechanically driven step for volume reduction.
PRODUCTS
Land based
evaporators
Fully customisable and bespoke in design, our XPEL land based water evaporators are available in a range of sizes enabling operators to reduce the risks associated with excess water and ensure environmental compliance with a wide range of water processing capabilities.
Pontoon
