Slaughterhouse Wastewater Treatment

Blood, fat, and solids from abattoirs and meat processing — engineered DAF systems that meet discharge limits and cut surcharges

Slaughterhouse wastewater treatment installation

Slaughterhouse Effluent Is Heavily Loaded with Blood, Fat, and Solids

Abattoirs and meat processing plants discharge water that carries blood, animal fat, hair, manure, and tissue particles. Blood alone is protein-rich and drives sharp COD and BOD spikes. Without proper treatment, this effluent fails discharge standards — triggering fines or plant shutdowns.

High COD / BODTypically 2,000–8,000 mg/L COD from blood & protein
Blood & ProteinNutrient-rich spikes that overload biological stages
Animal Fat (FOG)Coats pipes and fouls downstream units
Suspended SolidsHair, meat particles, and manure

A Complete Treatment Line, Engineered to Order

From pre-screening to sludge dewatering, every stage is sized to your throughput and discharge target.

⛔

1 · Pretreatment

Bar screens remove hair, meat particles, and coarse solids before they reach the DAF.

💧

2 · DAF Clarification

Dissolved air flotation removes blood, fat, and suspended solids — the key step for slaughterhouse effluent.

♻

3 · Biological (Optional)

Anaerobic + A/O stages remove nitrogen and residual BOD to reach strict discharge standards.

🧲

4 · Sludge Dewatering

Belt or screw press dewaters the collected fat and solids to 20–35% cake solids for disposal.

The Two Machines That Do the Heavy Lifting

Dissolved Air Flotation DAF system

Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF) System

The workhorse for slaughterhouse effluent. Micro-bubbles lift blood, fat, and solids to the surface for skimming — before they can foul your biological or discharge systems.

Flow Rate1–200 m³/h, modular design
TSS Removal≥ 90%, oil & grease ≥ 95%
COD RemovalTypically 30–60% before biological stage
MaterialSS304, SS316L, or anti-corrosion carbon steel

Sludge dewatering belt filter press

Sludge Dewatering Systems

The blood, fat, and solids removed by the DAF become sludge. Dewater it on-site to cut haulage and disposal costs — belt press, screw press, or decanter centrifuge depending on sludge volume and type.

TypesBelt press, screw press, decanter centrifuge
Capacity0.5–10 t/h dry solids
Cake Solids20–35% depending on sludge type
ControlPLC automated with remote monitoring option

Typical System Configurations

Reference line-ups by scale — the final design depends on your throughput and discharge target.

🔪

Small · Abattoir

≤ 50 m³/d

Bar screen + grease trap + DAF-30 + sludge dewatering.

🥩

Medium · Meat Processing

50–300 m³/d

Bar screen + equalization + DAF-100 + A/O biological + sludge dewatering.

🏭

Large · Integrated Plant

> 300 m³/d

Bar screen + equalization + DAF-200 + anaerobic + A/O + sludge dewatering.
