Project’s context & challenges
PrimaKus, one of the largest poultry farms with an integrated slaughterhouse in southern Kazakhstan, required a reliable wastewater treatment solution for its greenfield development. Located in a remote area on the outskirts of the city, the project faced challenges including limited access to qualified operational personnel and strict river discharge regulations.
The client needed a highly automated, robust system capable of ensuring compliance while keeping operating costs low, even under complex process conditions.
