English term

render

English Other Environment & Ecology
The filters collect material that can be rendered on site rather than enter the wastewater system.

I am not sure how to interpret "render" in this context. Does it mean "use" maybe?

Discussion

Roddy Stegemann Aug 14, 2005:
The term render applies to whatever happens to the material that is filtered out, not what is allowed to pass through the filter. See my entry below for further explanation.
Non-ProZ.com Aug 14, 2005:
it's in the meat industry, from a "process to collect, filter, reheat, and recycle water from the casing operation."
Rachel Fell Aug 14, 2005:
Hello Elvira: It might help to know what sort of material is collected and/or where it is.

obtain, remove, transform

The materials collected in the filter can be picked up (and either removed or transformed) on site, versus other systems that would allow those materials to reach the wastewater system.

separated out for whatever purpose

Render is a common, but vague sort of word that means to put things in a certain way. This can be achieved through either placement or transformation.

The context that you have provided does not provide sufficient information to know exactly what state the filtered material is rendered. One can only say with certainty that it does not enter the waste water.

If it's the firm below, it would appear they've learnt a bit about how to render or treat the stuff!

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article3676.htm
John Morrell and Company, pled guilty to dumping slaughterhouse waste into the Big Sioux River in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and deliberately submitting phony test data and discharge reports to conceal its crimes.

Morrell paid a $2 million criminal fine and was ordered to spend another $1 million to establish a local environmental cleanup fund.

The charges include conspiracy and violations of the Clean Water Act related to Morrell's unlawful discharges of slaughterhouse waste from a company wastewater treatment plant over an 8-year period, from 1985 to 1993.
