Environmentally-friendly water purification facility is an economical, and reliable wastewater solution for this leading Chicken Producer

This wastewater cannot be discharged into rivers or used for irrigation unless it complies with discharge standards set by the Department of Water and Sanitation (DWS).

System Design

An abattoir effluent treatment system that comprises Biological Fat Digestion, Anaerobic Treatment, Compact Biological Nitrification, and Advanced Stabilisation to treat 4,000 m3/day towards reuse standard. About 30% are being disinfected for reuse as wash water at the abattoir and the remaining 70% being purified with membrane technology towards potable quality for factory reuse.

Very Effective

With a system like this the chemical oxygen demand (COD - which reflects the degree of organic matter pollution in water), is greatly reduced from for example 4 000mg/ℓ in raw wastewater down to less than about 75mg/ℓ in the final stabilisation pond outflow.
