PROBLEM STATEMENT
- The seasonal fluctuation, high chemical oxygen demands, degrees Brix, filter media and alternating pH all have a critical impact on the effective treatment on the effluent emanating from the abattoir and meat processing industry.
- The confined area of a typical abattoir makes it critical that the effluent be treated effectively and completely removed from the wine cellar. This effluent has to be treated and contained before being discharged into natural streams or being recycled for re-use.
- International quality control, environmental legislation and pressure to
re-use water is contributing factors.
CHALLENGE
- The combination of sterilization chemicals, the coagulation of blood, animal fats, hair, stomach content and other animal body parts that enter the effluent stream pose too great a challenge to implement a single treatment solution.
- High discharge penalties were incurred.
- Effluent volumes resulted in unpleasant odours and water discolouration.
- CIP wash model also contributed to the quality of water and contamination thereof.
ECOSAT SOLUTION
- Our experience in this industry over the past 36 years has given EcoSat privileged knowledge on the imminent water qualities and solution technologies.
- EcoSat employed a unique effluent treatment capability to allow for permanent or static installations on a rental or full ownership principle supported by a complete treatment capability. This allows EcoSat to
effectively deal with the challenges raised above. - EcoSat employs chemical, mechanical, and civil engineers as well as other qualified staff in designing our solution, allowing the abattoir and meat processing industry to focus on what they are best at.
- A careful selection of coarse separation equipment, Electrochemical Coagulation (EC) and also a Biological Catalytic Remediation (BCR) has proven that abattoir effluent can successfully be recycled once sterilized.
- The treatment is able to reduce effluent fats, CODs and neutralize the pH of the effluent to discharge quality as well as the ability to recycle the treated effluent.
