ANZ’s Growing Petfood Market – Hydroflux Delivers Multiple Wastewater Treatment Solutions

Australia and New Zealand’s petfood sector is valued at over $4.2 billion and continues to grow due to high pet ownership rates with increased demand for quality and ethically manufactured products.

Over the last decade many global and local petfood brands have expanded or built new production facilities to meet growing demand. And with that comes higher discharge volumes of wastewater that needs to be treated prior to discharge.

Hydroflux has delivered numerous treatment solutions to the petfood sector across Australia and New Zealand. Our project delivery model takes on the full design responsibility, site construction, commissioning, training and on-going site support.

Central to the treatment plant design is the use of our broad range of proprietary technologies and products, such as HyDAF Dissolved Air Flotation, HySMART® biological treatment, HyConnect® remote monitoring and HydraPrime®/HydraBond® specialist chemistry.

Petfood manufacturing results in a wastewater stream with elevated concentrations of fats, oils and grease (FOG), suspended solids and organic matter. These wastewaters require robust treatment processes to consistently achieve trade waste and discharge compliance.
