Robust wastewater treatment for slaughterhouse and meat processing — fine screening, DAF and biological treatment that absorb high organic and FOG loads.
Wastewater treatment for sheep and goat abattoirs. Wool, blood and paunch content separation for compliance.
Wastewater treatment for fat & tallow recovery. Blood, protein and fat removal with high organic load handling.
Meat processing discharge limits for BOD, TSS, blood and nitrogen.
Pathogen reduction in meat processing wastewater. Disinfection, screening and safe discharge for food safety.
Handling Demanding Meat Industry Effluents
Meat processing and slaughterhouse operations generate some of the most challenging industrial wastewater, characterised by high organic loads, blood, fats, proteins, and solids. Our robust treatment solutions are engineered to handle these demanding effluents reliably, ensuring compliance with environmental regulations while maintaining operational efficiency. Fine screening, dissolved-air flotation and balancing remove blood, fat and solids before robust biological treatment handles the dissolved organic load. Reynolds & Bauhm engineer these plants to absorb slaughter-line shock loads and recover fats and solids that offset running costs.
High concentrations of blood and soluble proteins create extremely high BOD/COD loads requiring specialised treatment approaches.
