Poultry Abattoir Wastewater Treatment
Where land is available wastewater treatment lagoons offer a very cost effective way to treat abattoir wastewater prior to effluent disposal by irrigation or to municipal sewer.
The efficiency of a conventional wastewater
treatment lagoon system treating high strength
wastewater is insufficient to achieve standards
for irrigation, or results in high charges from
municipalities if treated effluent is discharged to
sewer. Odour from the ponds is often highly offensive.
The use of Citadel BioCat+™ enables high COD
removal efficiencies and virtually eliminates odour
emissions. The graph below shows the performance
of a wastewater treatment lagoon system.
TREATING ABATTOIR EFFLUENT OVER A PERIOD OF SIX YEARS.
The effluent from the poultry abattoir was screened to
remove feathers and large solids and then pumped
to the treatment ponds system. Citadel BioCat and
later Citadel BioCat+™ was continuously added to
the effluent prior to pumping to the ponds. Treatment
efficiency took 6 months to attain steady state with
COD concentrations below 100 mg per liter. Over the
next four years effluent volumes and concentrations
increased as slaughter rates increased and additional
carcass processing was introduced.
Effluent concentrations were further increased when
blood was introduced into the waste stream after the
closure of a local rendering plant.
Benefits+ Capital expenditure saved on conventional treatment process
+ No discharge penaltiesfrom municipality
+ No skilled labour requirements.
+ No odour problems
+ Low running cost
Description of application - The wastewater lagoon system was designed for an effluent flow of 160 kl per day and consisted of two “anaerobic” ponds in series with a retention time of 4 days followed by three “facultative” ponds in series with a retention time of 25 days. After six years the effluent flow had doubled and wastewater concentration increased by over 50% tripling the load on the system.

CITADEL BIOCAT+
BioremediationCitadel Biocat+ brings simplicity to the bioremediation of complex hydrocarbons.
Whatever the bioremediation challenge, Citadel
BioCat+ has the natural solution for it. To date, in
situ solutions have been achieved for reduction
of PAH’s in coke oven effluent lagoons, and COD
compliance for waste water treatment and food
processing lagoons.
BiogasIncreased biogas production of 20 - 35% has been made in Anaerobic Digestion plants.
Other benefits to biogas generation have been
stability and reduced cycle time. Agricultural
applications also include feed water
augmentation for increased livestock health and
yields. Horticulture and fish farming can achieve
commercial benefits from the role of Citadel
Biocat+ in microbial bionutrition.
Other potential applications+ Mechanical soil washing techniques.
+ Treatment and restoration of lakes and waterways.
+ In situ treatment of ground water pollution.
+ Reduction of organic sludge in waste water treatment to cut operational costs and extend plant capacity.
+ Healthy, cost-effective emergency sanitation.
+ Biological treatment of contaminated lagoon sludge, bitumen, and acid tars.
+ De-contamination of soils and waste water.
NATURESORB
SpillsIdeal for hydrocarbons and chemical spills on land and water, NatureSorb is a 100% natural, heat-activated sphagnum moss harvested in Canada.
+ Absorbs oils, fuels, chemicals and solvents on contact.
+ Field tested and the preferred solution of industry professionals.
+ Absorbs 10 times its own weight.
+ Non-abrasive, non-toxic, non-leaching.
NatureSorb can also be used for soil remediation,
water filtration and ionisation of heavy metals.
