Tallow and Oils
Located in Hazlemere in Perth, the Talloman operation processes mixed abattoir material, fat and bone, blood, feather and poultry by products from poultry processing plants and value adding facilities.
A small amount of fish scrap is also processed.
The mixed abattoir material is currently processed through a high temperature continuous equacooker. This will soon be replaced by a low temperature system, which will greatly reduce the company's gas use.
Poultry
Poultry by products ("PBM") are processed through a high temperature continuous disc cooker soon to be retrofitted to a waste heat system. The resulting poultry by product meal is of pet food grade (low ash) and is highly sought after by both the pet food and aquaculture feed manufacturers.
PBM is becoming increasingly popular as a replacement for fish meal in aquaculture diets as fish meal availability is static or in decline. The resultant meal is of a golden brown in colour having a typical poultry aroma
Both these processes with waste heat evaporation will see a huge reduction in the requirement for natural gas usage, resulting in a much smaller carbon footprint and the beneficial flow on of lower strength waste streams.
Feathermeal
Feathermeal is processed in a continuous hydrolyser, before being dried out in a continuous stainless disc drier. The feathermeal is light cream in colour with a fresh inoffensive aroma.
All factory air, point source odours and non condensable gases are treated in a large biofilter comprising four cells, oversized to allow the plant to operate effectively on three cells if one requires maintenance.
Moisture levels and watering of the biomass are all computer controlled with tri daily visual inspections to ensure compliance with license conditions.
Waste water is treated through a series of covered anaerobic lagoons before being passed through an activated sludge plant removing BOD5 and nutrients before discharge to sewer.
The plant processes in the vicinity of 100,000 tonnes of material per annum. The equivalent of 12,500 8m3 skip bins that would otherwise be sent to landfill annually.
