Abstract: Across the United States, food processors of red meats and seafoods are facing urgent problems in meeting the requirements of county, state and national regulations for protection of the environment from solid, liquid and airborne wastes. Costs of managing food processing wastes depend heavily on the size and complexity of the operation. Common waste treatment practices include land disposal, anaerobic ponds, aerobic ponds, activated sludge, clarifiers and filtration. This industrial sector presents an understanding of the operations involved in red meat and seafood processing. It includes information on the economic benefits of clean technologies to conserve raw materials, energy and reduce waste. You will also find specific pollution prevention material highlighting opportunities for increased process yield, employee training, water conservation, dry cleanup and wastewater management.
