Characteristics of slaughter and meat processing wastewater

—— "High pollution, high impact, high load" heavy pollution source

The wastewater from the slaughter and meat processing industry has the typical characteristics of high pollution load, heavy oil content, complex blood pollution components, strong odor, and difficult biochemical treatment. It is a typical high-concentration organic wastewater:
The organic pollution is extremely high: COD is usually 3,000-12,000mg/L, BOD₅ is 1,500-6,000mg/L, which is more than 10 times higher than domestic sewage.
Contains a lot of oil and protein: fat, oil, and animal protein are very easy to form scum or emulsified state in water, and FOG (oil content) is often 100-500mg/L, causing equipment scaling and subsequent treatment system blockage.
Rich in blood and solid impurities: Contains a large amount of blood, hair, minced meat, bone fragments, feces, visceral residues, etc., SS (suspended solids) concentration is as high as 1,000-3,000mg/L, strong odor and high adhesion.
High nitrogen and phosphorus concentrations, easy to cause eutrophication: ammonia nitrogen can reach 200-600mg/L, total phosphorus is as high as 30mg/L or more. If not properly handled, it is very easy to pollute the water body and breed algae.
Strong intermittent discharge and large water volume fluctuations: Production is concentrated, drainage is often concentrated in the daytime operation period, and the peak and valley fluctuations of water volume can exceed 3 times.


Huadian Capabilities

As a leading domestic industrial water treatment EPC general contractor, Huadian has been deeply involved in the livestock and poultry slaughtering and meat processing industries, creating a full-process technology system of "efficient pretreatment + intelligent biochemical + deep purification + resource recycling" to achieve the three goals of "pollution reduction, standard emission, energy saving and efficiency improvement":

Strong solid-liquid separation and flotation pretreatment system

using grid + inclined screen + efficient flotation + automatic oil scraping device to remove feces, hair, minced meat and emulsified oil at one time, and the COD removal rate in the pretreatment stage can reach 40-60%, which reduces the burden on biochemical treatment.

Core biochemical treatment process

equipped with UASB anaerobic + AO/A2O aerobic + MBR membrane reactor and other combined processes to cope with high organic load and high nitrogen water quality, the effluent COD is stable ≤50mg/L, ammonia nitrogen ≤10mg/L, total phosphorus ≤0.5mg/L, easily meeting national and local emission standards.

Odor control and intelligent operation and maintenance

The system is equipped with biological deodorization/chemical spray deodorization devices to effectively solve the odor problem in workshops and sewage stations; it is equipped with an intelligent dosing system to achieve unmanned operation, automatic control, and remote monitoring, reducing operating costs by 20%.

Resource utilization and recycled water

The biogas produced by the anaerobic system can be used for heat recovery in the plant area, and the dehydrated sludge can be used as organic fertilizer raw materials; the effluent can be used for non-contact cleaning and greening irrigation, realizing the green closed loop of "water resource reuse and on-site energy conversion".

Huadian Commitment

In the face of the "oiliest, dirtiest, and smelliest" wastewater, we provide the "most stable, cleanest, and most energy-saving" solution.
With mature technology, professional teams and rich project experience, Huadian provides slaughtering and meat processing companies with full-process services from design, construction to operation and maintenance, helping customers achieve "double standards" of clean production and green development.
