Poultry Slaughterhouse Wastewater Treatment Plant Design Advancements

Abstract

Poultry slaughterhouse wastewater (PSW) is usually disposed of by discharging it into watercourses, municipal wastewater treatment works (WWTWs), or by scattering it on grass and croplands. However, the hazardous nature of the PSW makes it injurious to human health and the environment. As a result, the South African Government has established a Waste Discharge Charge System (WDCS), which is based on the "polluter pays" principle, as a means to encourage industrial waste dischargers to reduce their waste and use water resources optimally. Therefore, the poultry industry is required to adopt the latest technologies that will reduce freshwater consumption and increase reuse practices to achieve zero effluent discharges. This paper will present wastewater treatment options available, and give motivation as to why Sumo, which is a wastewater process simulator, should be applied to evaluate the performance of an anaerobic bioreactor.

Assessment of the State of the Activated Sludge Biocenosis When Functioning in an Environment With a High Content of Protein-Lipid Component

“…На сегодняшний день проблема очистки жиро-и белоксодержащих сточных вод стоит достаточно остро и активно изучается за рубежом [21][22][23][24][25]. В свою очередь биологическая очистка возможна только для сточных вод, загрязненных веществами, которые могут быть окислены биоценозом активного ила -сообществом водорослей, беспозвоночных микроорганизмов различных систематических групп [26].…”
