Abstract:
With the interest to reuse and recycle the wastewater for technological use, this project aims to test the treatment of
wastewater from poultry slaughterhouse industry from three main sections of the poultry slaughtering process, defeathering,
eviscerating and cooling processes. The samples for the project were obtained from Izhevskoe a Kazakhstani company. The
technology used is a combination of electrocoagulation, ultrafiltration, and photochemical system and its goal is to provide
treated water that can be re-utilized in the poultry industry for sterilization of technical equipment without contaminating and
affecting the quality of the poultry products. The treatment of wastewater samples lasted in total for 40 min. From the results,
it was found that indicators such as BOD, COD, and phosphates had removal efficiency of almost 100%, while the
microbiological colonies were all eradicated from then wastewater making the treated water microbes free. Hence, proving
this system to be effective for the treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater and safe for technological reutilization.
