“…As a result, there are some considerations to be made for the adequate treatment of SWW effluents. Figure 6 presents a proposed layout of the pretreatment, treatment, and disinfection of slaughterhouse wastes for a typical meat processing plant, as well as the potential resource recovery for water reuse and products recycling [63,64]. …”

The meat processing industry is one of the largest consumers of total freshwater used in the agricultural and livestock industry worldwide. Meat processing plants (MPPs) produce large amounts of slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) because of the slaughtering process and cleaning of facilities. SWWs need significant treatment for a sustainable and safe discharge to the environment due to the high content of organics and nutrients. Therefore, the treatment and final disposal of SWW are a public health necessity. In this chapter, the regulatory frameworks relevant to the SWW management, environmental impacts, health effects, and treatment methods are discussed. Although physical, chemical, and biological treatment can be used for SWW degradation, each treatment process has different advantages and drawbacks depending on the SWW characteristics, best available technology, jurisdictions, and regulations. SWWs are typically assessed using bulk parameters because of the various pollutant loads derived from the type and the number of animals slaughtered that fluctuate amid the meat industry. Thus, an on-site treatment using combined processes would be the best option to treat and disinfect the slaughterhouse effluents to be safely discharged into receiving waters.

“…Since several researchers [29][30][31][32] agree that approximately 90% of total nitrogen in water consists of ammonia nitrogen, the concentration of the latter compound was estimated. This variable and total nitrogen did not show any significant difference when water supply and water from effluents of treatments and the treatments among themselves were compared.…”

Effluents quality during the grow-out phase of the amazon shrimp macrobrachium amazonicum

et al. 2014

In recent years shrimp culture farms have been one of the most growing sectors in aquaculture. Research has been carried out in order to establish a sustainable production maintaining profit and low environmental impact. Current investigation analyzed source and effluent water produced during the final grow-out phase of the Amazon shrimp (Macrobrachium amazonicum). Twelve natural-bottom ponds, with continuous water flow and stock density comprising 40, 60, 80 and 100 young shrimps/m² were analyzed. The experiment design comprised totally randomized blocks with four treatments and three replications. Microbiological analyses for Escherichia coli was attempted, coupled to physical and chemical analyses for pH, temperature, total suspended solids, total nitrogen, nitrite, nitrate, biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand of water supply and pond effluents. Results show that whereas effluent quality complied with current legal rules, there was no significant difference between supply and effluent water for the analyzed variables and between stock densities. Under the conditions investigated and the intensification of culture in the final grow-out phase up to a density of 100 young shrimps/m², the production of M. amazonicum reveals low potential for environmental impact for the variables analyzed.

“…These and other relationships between the biological system and climate were projected have use in developing and managing full-scale algal pond treatment systems. Manios et al (2003) described the treatment of a pork production and processing facility using a series of settling and aeration basins that yielded average effluent BOD and TSS concentrations of 40 mg/L and 80 mg/L, respectively. A third of the effluent was recycled back to the production facility for flushing manure while the balance was disinfected prior to land application in olive and eucalyptus groves.…”

Beverages and FermentationA good deal of research in 2003 focused on optimization of existing wastewater treatment processes for winery, brewery, and distillery wastewater. Malandra et al. (2003) examined the microbiology of biofilms present on rotating biological contactor (RBC) discs treating winery wastewater. It was determined that the microbiological populations, consisting of several bacterial and yeast species, shifted over the duration of the evaluation period and that one particular yeast species was able to achieve high levels of COD reduction in synthetic wastewater. Garcia-Morales et al. (2003) studied the activity of biofilm in a thermophilic anaerobic fluidized bed reactor treating wine distillery wastewater. As a result of these studies, the authors were able to develop activity tests that could be used to determine, among other things, maximum methanogenic activities for various biomass carriers. Tests were also used to evaluate physical phenomena and parameters affecting treatment.Javier Benitez et al. (2003) studied the kinetics of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal from wine distillery wastewater using both ozonation and aerobic biodegradation. Kinetic parameters were presented for both technologies for both continuous and discontinuous processes.Three different upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactors were 1590 compared for removal of COD from winery wastewater. One was seeded with granular sludge enriched with Enterobacter sakazakii, the second with brewery granules, and the third with conventional sludge. The first reactor achieved the highest COD removal, followed by the second and third, and it was also noted that the third reactor encountered difficulties which required frequent re-seeding. (Keyser et al., 2003) Hydrogen production from rice winery wastewater using a continuous stirred tank reactor was the research focus of Yu et al. (2003a) Kinetic constants were calculated, and reaction products such as hydrogen, carbon dioxide, alcohol, and organic acids were measured at various hydraulic retention times (HRTs) and substrate concentrations. Grismer et al. (2003) were concerned with obtaining actual full-scale performance data on constructed wetlands used for winery wastewater treatment. Studies were conducted on two different full-scale installations, and decay model coefficients and COD and tannin removal efficiencies were evaluated. Of particular importance was the fact that evaluations were conducted both during the crush season as well as during the racking and bottling season.Anaerobic treatability and beneficial reuse of wastewater from a wine distillery were the focus of research by Jeison, et al. (2003). These researchers investigated the anaerobic treatability of wastewater from a plant producing pisco, a distilled drink prepared from Muscatel wine. Lab-scale and full-scale experiments showed that the wastewater was treatable by anaerobic treatment, 1591 and that the nutrient content of the treated water made it suitable for irrigation of eucalyptus, with the added be...
