Meat Processing Wastewater Treatment
Solids, Fat & Protein Separation for Abattoirs
Plate settler systems for slaughterhouse and meat processing wastewater — removing fats, blood solids, and organic loading.
Meat Processing Wastewater Treatment
Meat processing and slaughterhouse operations generate high-strength wastewater rich in fats, oils, grease, blood solids, and organic matter. Effective primary clarification is essential to reduce sewer surcharges and to stabilize downstream biological treatment.
Plate settlers, combined with upstream coagulation and pH control, efficiently separate precipitated proteins, fats, and suspended solids. The high-rate inclined design achieves strong solids capture within a compact footprint.
Recovered solids can be routed to rendering or dewatering, while clarified effluent proceeds to biological polishing with a substantially reduced organic load.
Treatment Challenges & Solutions
Fats & Grease
Coagulation releases emulsified FOG for effective plate separation.
Blood Solids
High-density blood solids captured to reduce downstream BOD.
Strong Loading
High-rate design handles peak shift-based discharge patterns.
