Case study: Separating meat and oil onboard

Three years ago, Starbound’s owner, Aleutian Spray Fisheries Inc, decided to cut the then 240-foot vessel in half to expand its processing operations and to add a meal plant, oil plant and two surimi lines. The retrofit was not just on the ship, it was a complete overhaul of the processing operations and required Flottweg Separation Technology. This new equipment is used to separate meat from liquid.
