The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association announced the second video in a series that they state highlights companies with exemplary performance at water reclamation facilities serving the poultry industry.

The Tyson Foods facility in Russellville, Arkansas is the focus of the second video and involves pretreatment activities.

The news release describes the Tyson Foods facility, noting the:

. . . further processing facility treats an average of 200,000 thousand gallons of water per day. The facility has installed a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to more efficiently monitor and operate dissolve air flotation (DAF) units, flow meters, tanks, pumps and other equipment remotely. In an effort to save energy, the facility manages the operation of tank aerators to ensure they are not running simultaneously. The facility continuously reviews operations to expand its reuse of treated wastewater in an effort to cultivate and demonstrate their commitment to advance conservation efforts. The facility also offers team members the ability to participate in training courses from universities and other groups to further employee knowledge and increase the level of their wastewater treatment certification.
