Biological Waste Management from Slaughterhouse (Solid Waste)

Published on by in Non Profit

Recently, one of my colleagues asked me this question regarding the slaughterhouse waste management. How can we tackle the issue of large scale generation of this waste?

I would like to ask the peers how they or other agencies in their area manage the waste. Is it simply dumped to the landfill site?

  1. Hello Mahesh,

    couple of decades ago I worked on one of the largest slaughter house westewater treatment plant in Canada. The process used is called Returned Activated Sludge. Liquid waste comes from the animal processing floor, rendering plant and plant clean-up and disinfection liquids (bleach).  The wastewatwer treatment plant consists of the following major components: anaerobic lagoon (covered with tallow with few days retention time), aeration tank  (24 - hour retention time) to remove nitrates and phosphorous,  couple of clarifiers and a sludge digestion tower.  At the end waste-water is reclaimed and disinfected before the release in to the environment.

  2. Hello Mahesh

    I can help here but need to fully understand the issue.

    my company specialised in live biomass monitoring.

    get back to me if you wish to investigate further

    thanks

  3. Dear Mahesh, 

    If you have not finalized any solutions, we can visit Ur facility and offer a simple inexpensive solution for handling and recovering valuables from the wastes including water recovery and reuse. 

    I can be contacted on vegesnabioMohummadrashid@gmail Siddiqui we specialise In recovery of nutrients from shrimp waste processing industry in AP.

  4. Dear Mahesh,

    The utilization of animal wastes viz., Goat Teeth(GT) and Goat Hooves (GH) can be used as potential sorbents in the removal of Nickel and Lead. You can contact PSGR Krishnammal College for Women Coimbatore, they are conducting research on the same.

  5. Greetings Mahesh: The meat & byproduct industries (including slaughterhouses) are certainly baleen's forte when it comes to meat, fat, paunch separation/recovery from effluent streams prior-to, or as an alternative-to conventional Save-All/DAF technology...

  7. With the recovery of sewage wastes and rainwater wastes; Electricity, water, gas and hot water can still be produced while our seas are still available. But let me solve this work with the bride 's hand. You live our world. Our seas and all living things are gone. Our national security is becoming a slave. We are committed to doing this work on Earth.

  8. RBC works well with high strength waste together with fog recovery. RBC is a low environmental impact, low energy, low maintenance, highly stable process. It’s also capable of a wide range of flows

  9. Dear Mahesh,

    If you mean not infected solid waste from slaughter of poultry, then it is best to use clean technology for high-speed fermentation by microorganisms and drying of waste within 2-24 hours with the production of animal feed. There are known plants for processing such wastes with a productivity of 2 to 100 tons per day. Infected solid waste must be processed by cremation (not to be confused with burning). More detailed information - only for joint projects.

    1. Vitalijus, but what about the very strong filthy odor generates from such animal feed manufacturing plants? I am conducing an environmental auditing study on one of such primitive factories in Jordan (which processes heads, legs, and feather of slaughtered chicken) and interested to know more about the clean ​technology you mentioned of ​high-speed ​fermentation by ​microorganisms if it reduces the very nasty odor in the plant site.

      2. Dear Vitalijus, for some reasons I did not get the email letter you sent, kindly resend. Regards. Ahmad

      3.  Ahmad, I sent you a response to your email.
        Warn and reduce unpleasant odors are also possible with the help of biological and biochemical preparations.

        Kind Regards,

  10. Hello Mr. Mahesh

    We have a solution for slaughter house waste water and oil & fats separation before ETP treatment. Our system is best solution for fats and tallow recovery from rendering plant as well.

    Our solids separation system can be used for proteins recovery/separation before ETP. so in nutshell WyunaSep can be used for FOG and solids separation from water before ETP, this allows good product recovery and less load on ETP, thus reduces opex & capex for the same. This will allow you to avoid expensive DAF system and chemical consumption.

    In Australia this is very commonly used in almost all meat works, rendering plants and slaughter houses for water treatment.

    for more info either contact me or you can visit our website www.wyunasep.com  

    Attached is our meat works brochure for your ready reference.

    regards

  11. Neal's solution is right. You can have DAF, Anaerobic, Aerobic proceess wastewater. If the effluent is reused in processing, MF~RO is required. The biosolids can be dewatered and animal's feed material.

  12. As you can tell by the variety of solutions offered, there are many options depending on the type of material to be handled and the volume.  We have used anaerobic digestion, composting, lactic acid fermentation and extrusion into feed ingredients.  We would be pleased to discuss the appropriateness of each of these.   cavanmilligen@gmail.com

  13. Mahesh.........we have been treating slaughter houses very successfully for over 15 years with a 100% organic, biodegradable product. After a short period of use this product will even return concrete floors to a condition that looks almost like new. The product removes malodour.

  14. There is quite a large industry devoted to anaerobic digestion of wastes such as this to generate electricity.  

  15. And I thought that it all got transformed into Big Macs. You learn something every day

  16. Such wastes are highly polluted with extremely high organic contents and can't be disposed just by land filling. Proper biological treatment must be done before disposal. To design an appropriate treatment system the major parameters shall be known along with the daily quantity produced.

  19. Depending on type of biological waste but It must be collected at source, sorted at source, treated in the waste facilities through different wastes treatment method, recover part that is recoverable and dispose the residue is a secured landfill which is the least oprion
