PURPOSE: Provided are methods of producing animal feeds from food wastes by providing a dry, pelletized, fibrous organic material. Specifically, provided are methods of thickening/dewatering solids that contain substantial amounts of moisture, e.g. ground food waste. CONSTITUTION: A process for producing animal feed from food waste, comprises the steps of: (a) shredding of the food waste, resulting in ground food waste; (b) thickening of the ground food waste through the use of an amount, effective for the purpose, of an agglomerating polymer and a synthetic organic flocculent, resulting in a low moisture product and a separate liquid phase; (c) adding a dry carrier to the low moisture product; and (d) treating the liquid phase so as to provide a high purity effluent for recycling. |
