Whether your plant is located in a drought-stricken area or where water is plentiful, building a wastewater treatment center on site may be cost effective for several reasons.
With the Sun Belt states experiencing serious droughts and the cost of processing wastewater escalating in many municipalities, conserving and reusing water at food and beverage processing facilities just makes plain business sense. There are two ways to cut expenses on water: conserve it and pretreat wastewater before sending it off to publicly owned treatment works (POTWs) since many of them charge extra for untreated sewage or may not take it at all.
