   Agricultural farm operations generate more than 500 million tons of animal waste annually. Animal waste can pose substantial risks to the environment and public health alike. 

 In 2021, oil production in the United States reached 16.6 million barrels per day. During this process approximately 5 barrels of water are extracted from the well for every 1 barrel of oil. As a result nearly 3.5 billion gallons of water per day are produced that must either be cleaned or reinjected back into the earth. EPA regulations are becoming more and more restrictive on reinjection.  

 Depending on its size, the site plan, and the amount of annual rainfall, a landfill can generate hundreds of thousands of gallons of leachate water per year. This will continue long after the landfill is closed, spreading the costs of maintenance out over many decades; even those that won’t include income from accepting waste. Dealing with this leachate is necessary to keep the landfill from becoming a serious environmental hazard, but the costs of leachate management can be prohibitive and hold back many new landfill developments. 

  Our proprietary filtration units can clean animal waste and washdown water  ranging from 20,000 to 100,000 gallons per day and return this water to the farmer to reuse in both washdown and livestock feed water. 

 Using several proprietary techniques, residual oil is removed from the production water and then sent to our specially treated ceramic membranes for purification. Unlike traditional membrane technologies we do not use high pressure that tends to clog the membrane. 

 Managing landfill leachate is both an art and a science. Selecting a method of treatment that satisfies local and state regulations at a reasonable cost can be a complex undertaking. Fortunately, IWW has a host of treatment techniques from which our clients can choose. Those options range from the traditional sewage treatment plant — to more cutting-edge techniques, such as our advanced oxidation units or membrane distillation.
