the performance of a plug flow electrocoagulation reactor for the treatment of cattle abattoir(slaughterhouse) wastewater was investigated. a cylindrical iron reactor was operated as a cathode at arecycling batch mode while three iron rods located at the center of the reactor were used as an anode. theeffects of different parameters, including the current density, the supporting electrolyte dos...

The meat processing industry is one of the largest consumers of total freshwater used in the agricultural and livestock industry worldwide. Meat processing plants (MPPs) produce large amounts of slaughterhouse wastewater (SWW) because of the slaugh‐ tering process and cleaning of facilities. SWWs need significant treatment for a sustainable and safe discharge to the environment due to the high ...

Category 2 animal by-products that need to be sterilized with steam pressure according Regulation (EC) 1774/2002 are studied. In this work, 2 sets of experiments were performed in mesophilic conditions: (i) biomethane potential determination testing 0.5%, 2.0% and 5.0% total solids (TS), using sludge from the anaerobic digester of a wastewater treatment plant as inoculum; (ii) biodegradability ...

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 ...

YORDANOV, D., 2010. Preliminary study of the efficiency of ultrafiltration treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater. Bulg. J. Agric. Sci., 16: 700-704 Poultry slaughterhouses use relatively high amount of water with an average consumption of 26.5 L/bird during primary and secondary processing of live birds to meat. The used water contains proteins, fats, carbohydrates from meat, blood, sk...
