Leather Processing

The processing of leather requires extensive treatment by chemicals to soften the hides. These treatment chemicals can produce noxious odors and poisonous sludge. The water used throughout the process (contaminated odorous wastewater) requires extensive treatment prior to discharge. Thus a range of treatment chemistries are applicable to the leather industry, including flocculants, coagulants, odor control chemistries, and disinfectants. The exact treatment chemical regimen required is specific to the needs and design of a specific tannery.

ALTIVIA offers a range of products to meet your treatment needs.
