Aerobic membrane bioreactor in the treatment of wastewater from the meat industry

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The wastewater produced in meat processing factories should be treated before its discharge into receiving water or sewage system due to marked COD and BOD, high fat content, large quantity of suspended matter and microbiological contamination. Our research aimed to assess the effectiveness of the process carried out in an oxygen membrane bioreactor. The values and correlations determined were: the most favourable substrate loading of activated sludge, the quantity of resulting excess sludge in respect of the loading of activated sludge, and the contribution of the activated sludge and capillary membranes to the treatment of wastewater.
