Because the initial designs of these in-place treatment systems were intended for more lenient standards, meat and dairy operations often struggle to hit removal-efficiency targets for nutrients, particulates, fats, oils and greases (FOG) and more.

Additionally, system upgrades provide long-term cost savings by reducing energy and resource usage, further supporting a worthwhile investment.
