Abstract:The use of microorganisms to treat effluents can reduce problems caused by oils and fats in subsequent treatment stages. The present work investigates the use of a lipase-producing microorganism in the pretreatment of effluent from a fish slaughterhouse. Initial preliminary tests were performed with two microorganisms: Staphylococcus warneri and Bacillus megaterium. The following parameters were evaluated after the treatment: chemical oxygen demand (COD), oils and greases (O&G), and lipolytic activity. Bac… Show more
