Treatment of Slaughter House Wastewater in a Sequencing Batch Reactor: Performance Evaluation and Biodegradation Kinetics

Pradyut Kundu, Anupam Debsarkar, and Somnath Mukherjee

Abstract

Slaughterhouse wastewater contains diluted blood, protein, fat, and suspended solids, as a result the organic and nutrient concentration in this wastewater is vary high and the residues are partially solubilized, leading to a highly contaminating effect in riverbeds and other water bodies if the same is let off untreated. The performance of a laboratory-scale Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) has been investigated in aerobic-anoxic sequential mode for simultaneous removal of organic carbon and nitrogen from slaughterhouse wastewater. The reactor was operated under three different variations of aerobic-anoxic sequence, namely, (4+4), (5+3), and (3+5) hr. of total react period with two different sets of influent soluble COD (SCOD) and ammonia nitrogen (-N) level  mg/L, and  mg/L,  mg/L and  mg/L, respectively. It was observed that from 86 to 95% of SCOD removal is accomplished at the end of 8.0 hr of total react period. In case of (4+4) aerobic-anoxic operating cycle, a reasonable degree of nitrification 90.12 and 74.75% corresponding to initial -N value of 96.58 and 176.85 mg/L, respectively, were achieved. The biokinetic coefficients (, , , ) were also determined for performance evaluation of SBR for scaling full-scale reactor in future operation.

Abstract

Slaughterhouse wastewater contains various and high amounts of organic matter (e.g., proteins, blood, fat and lard). In order to produce an effluent suitable for stream discharge, chemical coagulation and electrocoagulation techniques have been particularly explored at the laboratory pilot scale for organic compounds removal from slaughterhouse effluent. The purpose of this work was to investigate the feasibility of treating cattle-slaughterhouse wastewater by combined chemical coagulation and electrocoagulation process to achieve the required standards. The influence of the operating variables such as coagulant dose, electrical potential and reaction time on the removal efficiencies of major pollutants was determined. The rate of removal of pollutants linearly increased with increasing doses of PACl and applied voltage. COD and BOD5 removal of more than 99% was obtained by adding 100 mg/L PACl and applied voltage 40 V. The experiments demonstrated the effectiveness of chemical and electrochemical techniques for the treatment of slaughterhouse wastewaters. Consequently, combined processes are inferred to be superior to electrocoagulation alone for the removal of both organic and inorganic compounds from cattle-slaughterhouse wastewater.

ocated in the centres of the cities, traditional ways to make use of the wastes

such as application to agricultural land are not applicable because transport distances have become too long. Direct disposal of highly polluted wastewater and organic residues into the sewerage system without prior treatment on the other hand is mostly not acceptable due to resulting environmental and ecological problems and the risk of clogging in the wastewater piping systems.

Dear William Fernandes

slaughterhouses wastewater with high volume of BOD and COD must treating with hybrid methods including both anaerobic and aerobic process.

anaerobic process like UABR, UASB or anaerobic lagoons can use.

aerobic process like any modification of activated sludge, SBR, TF and other famous methods can use. too.

blood and grease removal before anaerobic process is very important.

temperature control can help operators more.

best regards.

Reza Abdollahzadeh

I do agrre with Reza, you can use hybrid process. You can use as well directly MBR technology with submersed ultrafiltration modules.

Slaughterhouse wastewater can be efficiently treated biologically using aerobic and/or anaerobic processes. Due to the nature of the wastewater, high hydraulic retention time (HRT) is necessary and thus aerobic biological processes are preferable in order to minimize HRT.

Consider technologies that have the potential to treat highly organic contaminated wastewater like the vermifiltration technology and the Acti-zyme technology

I had good results with aeróbica sbr technology. You can look for my research in www.

Dear Rafik, thank you so much for all these references.

Dear Reza and Jose, I agree with you, but I think that it can not be used because of financial limitations.

Dear Georgios and Mark, thanks for the answer.

Dear Mercy, I don't know that  technology. Thank you.

Dear António, very interesting

the hybrid system including anaerobic+aerobic is better.

for example, you can use UASB+EAAS method.
