The fish processing industry faces many challenges, among them:

Rising energy costs in evaporative processes
Environmental issues such as waste disposal and catch quotas
Product quality losses due to salt & Biogenic Amine contamination

Stickwater Evaporation and Rising Energy Costs
Separating fish solids with an evaporator uses a great deal of energy, generally in the form of increasingly expensive petroleum-derived fuel. GE's membrane solution -- which separates solids in a liquid phase -- can reduce or eliminate the need for stickwater evaporation, saving you money.

Environmental Issues
Discharging fishstick water into the environment is regulated in many countries around the world. Fish processors are having to consider the construction of miles-long discharge pipes into the ocean, or hauling material out in ships. In some parts of the world, even fluming water & bildge water must now be treated with a traditional DAF process - GE membrane solutions can help you solve issues around both of these fish meal wastewater process issues.

Fish Meal Quality Improvement
The GE Advanced Membrane Solution can improve fishmeal quality by removing salts and Biogenic Amines.

GE has all of the resources required to bring the Advanced Membrane Solution to your plant--from process design & piloting, to full equipment specification, to project management during installation, to post-production support and even financing for your capital purchase. GE Water & Process Technologies can provide the full gamut of services and support that you need to implement this process for your stickwater plant.
