A Simple Biological Treatment for a Slaughterhouse Wastewater: Crimson Publishers

A Simple Biological Treatment for a Slaughterhouse Wastewater by Rafaela Paes de Souza Barbosa, Maria Magdalena Ribas Döll* and Ana Cláudia Barana in Civil Engineering & Technology

Wastewater coming from slaughterhouses by-products contains high amounts of nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter, salts, and so on. The effluent comes from the water used to wash the animals, scalding, washing the floor and the machines, cleaning of equipment, etc. Before discharging the effluent in the water body, the effluent needs to be treated. To remove the large amount of organic matter and nutrients this study proposed the use of a combined system composed by three biological reactors: anaerobic, aerobic and anoxic. The best removal efficiencies were 90% for COD and 50% for NH4+-N, what decreases large pollutant potential.
