Biological Waste Management from Slaughterhouse (Solid Waste)

Question

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?

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.

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.

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...
