Challenges
Wastewater
Parameters Treatment Options Process Modifications Typical On-site Treatment Options Design Problem
contains large amounts of blood, fat, and hair Wastewater is above municipal standards which leaves two options; on site treatment or pay to be treated elsewhere On site treatment with low capital and maintenance costs is desirable
Wastewater Parameters
BOD
approx. 1,000 to 4,000 mg/L COD approx. 2,000 to 10,000 mg/L SS approx. 200 to 1,500 mg/L High Oil and Grease content Possible high chloride content from salting skins
Treatment Options
Discharge to sewer to be treated by municipal treatment plant Land application of wastewater for irrigation Reduce amount of wastewater and/or concentrations with the wastewater by changing the processes On site Treatment
Flow Equalization, Screening, Dissolved Air Flotation, Primary Sedimentation Aerobic Treatment Anaerobic Treatment
Line Separation
Separating
the various waste streams as much as possible Sanitary lines should be discharged directly to the city sewer Grease waste streams and non grease waste streams can help reduce treatment costs Separate Blood line
Blood Recovery
Blood has ultimate BOD of 405,000 mg/L One head of cattle contains 49 lbs. of blood which equals 10 lbs. BOD, compared to 0.2 lbs. discharged per person per day All blood should be recovered in a separate line draining to a tank Blood is then dried, commonly a continuous drier is used Profitable end product
Stockpen Area
Stockpen
waste and other manure should be hauled away as a solid Cleaned periodically with as little water as possible Ideally this water would go to a separate tank From the tank it would be emptied into a truck and land applied
On-Site Treatment
Costs
of treating on site or letting the municipality treat the waste should calculated Maintenance and operation should be also put into cost analysis Flow equalization is usually a very good first step in on-site treatment

Anaerobic Lagoons
Ideally the lagoon would be covered, odor & gas production contained, heat retention Not well suited for colder climates Detention time 20 to 50 days BOD5 loading= 200 to 500 lb/ac.-d
Design Problem
Flowrate:120,000
300 gpm TSS=1500 mg/L COD=5000 mg/L sCOD=3000 mg/L BOD5=2,000 mg/L Reduce levels to municipal levels and discharge into sewer
Screening
Hydrasieve
Use
prior to flow equalization to save on pumps and buildup in the tanks Design for max flow of 300 gpm 4.5 by 7 foot model will handle flow Approximate cost of $8,000
