Prior experiments using 250 mL samples of unscreened poultry overflow chiller water evaluated the beneficial bactericidal and oxidative effects of 4 different treatments (namely, O 2 /O 3 , O 2 /UV, O 2 /O 3 /UV, and O 2 as the control) for improving microbiological safety, turbidity, and water-use efficiency allowing its reconditioning for reuse. When excluding foam as in this present study, synergistic reductions . 1.5 log CFU/mL for aerobic plate counts (APC) were additionally achieved after 4 min for all O 3 /UV treatment combinations as compared to serially applied treatments of O 3 and UV acting separately. With foam present, 16-min O 3 /UV treatments were required to achieve similar results. We now report these additional benefits achieved by removing the foam formed by the advanced oxidation process of ultraviolet-photon enhanced ozonation. Furthermore, foam microbial and general physical content were analyzed to determine suitability as an additive in rendering-type processes. Treatment of the wastewater resulted in total plate counts between 2 to 4 Log CFU/mL in the foam after 8 min. Fat and protein constituted 89% of the solids collected (384 mg/L or 14% of the foam) with trace amounts of metal elements (for example, Ca, Na, K, Fe, Cu) present. Irradiating had negligible effect on foam characteristics yet decreased the amount of solids collected.
