Beef abbatoir
The beef abattoir plant processes several thousand head of heavy cattle per day to produce meat products for export and domestic distribution.
The generated wastewater is laden with fatty, oily, and gritty materials that are washed down the drain during normal processing procedures and plant sanitation. A chemical-free DAF system was installed to process over 295.3 m³/h of wastewater for removal of TSS and FOG.
The nature of the solids in the wastewater grants separation without chemical addition. Combined with the high effluent temperature and density of the solids, the DAF unit operates at an extraordinarily high solids loading rate and achieves extremely high dry solids concentration thanks to the DAF system’s dewatering grid.
