Sutter GmbH produces meat and sausage products for the European food retail sector at various locations in Germany. The company handles over 100t of meat every day, making it one of the leading meat processors in Germany.
New Sewage Plant at Sutter GmbH
Our task was to plan and install a sewage plant at the production site that met the particularly high requirements of the meat and sausage products manufacturer.
The concrete requirement, which involved the treatment of wastewater with heavy organic loads, was to develop a custom-tailored solution and implement it in practice.
The company’s production and cleaning activities generate wildly fluctuating volumes of wastewater with heavy organic loads and varying compositions. The new sewage plant in Rheinhessenblick is an ultra-modern plant equipped to handle all levels of wastewater treatment. It boasts wastewater screening and fat/grease separation, volume and load balancing, neutralisation, nitrification and de-nitrification as well as effluent filtration and sludge thickening equipment.
The new plant combines standard wastewater treatment equipment in a compact concrete tank. To achieve optimum treatment results the equipment is, on top, supported by a flotation unit and an effluent filtration unit.
The plant’s modern and individual control and visualisation system is connected to the internet and enables almost fully automated wastewater treatment processes.
The plant is designed to treat wastewater coming from two plants. It achieves a purification rate of over 98% with regard to organic load and 95% with regard to phosphate load and nitrogen load.
After the design planning in 2013, the construction and approval planning was carried out by a third party company in 2015. The implementation planning and the turnkey construction were taken over directly by P.C.S. GmbH and the plant could be handed over to the customer as a turnkey project in a construction period of only fourteen months.
