SLAUGHTERHOUSES, RENDERING FACILITIES, AND ABATTOIRS EFFLUENTS PARAMETERS TO BE TREATED
SLAUGHTERHOUSES, RENDERING FACILITIES, AND ABATTOIRS EFFLUENTS PARAMETERS TO BE TREATED Slaughterhouses, Rendering facilities, and Abattoirs Effluents parameters to be treated Effluent from slaughterhouses, rendering facilities, and abattoirs is highly polluted and requires rigorous treatment before discharge or reuse. The wastewater typically contains a mix of organic matter, fats, oils, grease, and nutrients. Here are the key parameters that need to be treated: Typical Effluent Parameters in Slaughterhouse/Rendering/Abattoir Wastewater Special Contaminants (Rendering Plants Specifically) High protein and lipid content Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) Temperature fluctuations (hot wastewater from cooking) Treatment Requirements To effectively treat this effluent, the treatment process typically includes: Pre-treatment: Screening, grit removal, FOG traps Primary treatment: Sedimentation, flotation (DAF) Secondary treatment: Biological (aerobic, anaerobic) Tertiary treatment: Nutr...
