2. Project Core Pain Points & Requirements

Industrial 680 m³d Slaughterhouse Wastewater Treatment System Project Case

2.1 Industry Common Pain Points

  1. High Pollution Load: Slaughter wastewater features extremely high concentrations of organic matter (COD up to 6000 mg/L), SS (2200 mg/L), and ammonia nitrogen, leading to severe water eutrophication if discharged directly.
  2. Safety & Environmental Risks: Foul odors (ammonia, hydrogen sulfide) cause air pollution; pathogenic microorganisms (over 90 zoonotic diseases) pose health threats; sludge accumulation leads to secondary pollution.
  3. Unstable Water Quality: Wastewater volume fluctuates significantly (85-90% discharged in a few hours daily), creating strong impact loads on treatment systems.
  4. High Operating Costs: Traditional processes consume excessive energy and chemicals; complex operations require intensive manual labor.

2.2 Customer Core Requirements

  • Pollutant Removal: Achieve efficient reduction of COD, BOD, SS, ammonia nitrogen, and fats, meeting GB5084-2005 irrigation standards.
  • Cost Control: Keep direct treatment costs below USD 0.3/ton of water; minimize energy and chemical consumption.
  • Operational Simplicity: Realize automatic operation, reduce manual intervention, and simplify maintenance.
  • Safety & Compliance: Eliminate odor and pathogenic risks; ensure stable operation without secondary pollution.
  • Space Efficiency: Optimize equipment layout to minimize floor space.

680 m³d Slaughter Wastewater Treatment and Reuse Project Case Study

3.1 Process Design: Integrated Treatment Technology

The project adopts the “Pretreatment + Anaerobic + A/O + Deep Treatment + Disinfection” process, tailored for high-pollution slaughter wastewater:

  1. Pretreatment Stage:
    • Grille Tank: Removes large impurities (hair, bone fragments) to protect subsequent equipment.
    • Micro-aerobic Hydrolysis Conditioning Tank: Balances water quality and quantity (accommodates half a day’s water volume) to mitigate impact loads.
    • High-efficiency Air Flotation Machine: Cooperates with chemical dosing system (PAC/PAM) to remove 90% of SS and 85% of fats, laying the foundation for subsequent biochemical treatment.
  2. Anaerobic Treatment Stage:
    • UASB Anaerobic Tank (3 sets): Decomposes large-molecular organic matter (proteins, fats) into small-molecular substances through hydrolysis, acidification, and methanogenesis, reducing COD by 60-70% and lowering the load for aerobic treatment.
  3. Aerobic Treatment Stage:
    • Anoxic Tank: Improves wastewater biodegradability; converts organic nitrogen into ammonia nitrogen.
    • Contact Oxidation Tank: Filled with elastic three-dimensional filler, providing a carrier for microbial attachment. High-efficiency aeration ensures DO levels of 2-4 mg/L, removing 85-90% of remaining organic matter and 95% of ammonia nitrogen.
  4. Deep Treatment & Disinfection Stage:
    • Secondary Sedimentation Tank: Separates sludge from water, ensuring clear effluent.
    • Disinfection Tank: Uses chlorine dioxide generator for sterilization (avoids carcinogenic by-products of sodium hypochlorite), killing 99.9% of pathogenic microorganisms.
  5. Sludge Treatment Stage:
    • Sludge Thickening Tank & Drying Plant: Dewaters excess sludge (moisture content ≤60%) for safe disposal or resource utilization, preventing secondary pollution.

3.3 Intelligent & Energy-saving Design

  • Automatic Control: Equipped with programmable logic controller (PLC) to automate pump start/stop, dosing, and aeration; water level sensors and flow meters realize real-time monitoring and adjustment.
  • Energy Efficiency: Optimizes equipment matching (e.g., Roots blower operates in high-efficiency zone); UASB anaerobic tank produces biogas (optional for energy recovery), reducing energy consumption by 15% compared to traditional processes.
  • Space Optimization: Adopts semi-underground and integrated equipment design, reducing floor space by 20% compared to conventional systems.

Ammonium Nitrogen350≤1.5≥99.6%
Vegetable & Animal Fats800≤5≥99.4%
Petroleum Products35.5≤0.3≥99.1%

4.2 Operational Performance

  • Stability: The system withstands 30% fluctuations in inlet water volume and concentration; effluent quality meets standards 24/7.
  • Cost Savings: Direct treatment cost is USD 0.2/ton of water (electricity: USD 0.15/ton; chemicals: USD 0.05/ton), saving 30% compared to traditional processes.
  • Safety Compliance: Odor concentration is below national standard (GB3096-93); pathogenic bacteria (E. coli, fecal streptococci) are not detected in effluent.
  • Labor Reduction: Automatic operation reduces manual workload by 70%; only 1-2 operators are required per shift.

4.3 Environmental Benefits

  • Annual reduction of COD discharge by 2,102 tons, BOD by 1,241 tons, and ammonia nitrogen by 123 tons.
  • Reclaimed water (248,200 m³/year) is used for agricultural irrigation, saving freshwater resources.
  • Sludge is recycled as organic fertilizer, realizing resource utilization.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

6.1 Installation & Commissioning

Q: What are the on-site requirements for equipment installation?A: The project requires an indoor machine room (≥50 m²) and outdoor installation area (≥100 m²) for tanks. It needs access to 380V AC power supply (installed capacity: 30.78KW) and stable water supply/drainage pipelines. We provide detailed installation drawings and send technicians for on-site guidance; commissioning takes 7-10 days.

6.2 Maintenance & Upkeep

Q: How often does the equipment require routine maintenance?A: Routine maintenance includes weekly inspection of pump and blower operation, monthly cleaning of grille and filters, quarterly calibration of sensors and dosing devices, and semi-annual inspection of anaerobic tank fillers. The system’s automatic control reduces maintenance workload, with an average of 8 hours of maintenance per week.

Q: What is the service life of core equipment?A: The UASB anaerobic tank and contact oxidation tank have a service life of ≥15 years; pumps and blowers have a service life of ≥8 years; filler needs to be replaced every 5-6 years. We provide lifelong technical support and preferential spare parts supply.

6.3 Warranty & After-Sales

Q: What is covered under the warranty period?A: Within the 12-month warranty period, we provide free repair or replacement for faults caused by design, manufacturing, or material defects (excluding human damage or improper operation). We respond to maintenance requests within 2 hours and dispatch technicians to the site within 48 hours for urgent issues.

Q: Do you provide post-warranty services?A: Yes. After the warranty period, we offer lifelong maintenance services at cost price (labor + spare parts). We conduct annual return visits to inspect system operation and provide optimization suggestions.

6.4 Operational Cost

Q: What factors affect the daily operating cost?A: The main factors include electricity price (accounting for 75% of operating cost), chemical consumption (PAC/PAM, chlorine dioxide raw materials), and labor cost. The cost can be further reduced by recycling biogas from the UASB anaerobic tank for heating or power generation.

6.5 Safety & Compliance

Q: How to handle odors generated during treatment?A: The system adopts underground tank design and ground greening to absorb odors; the contact oxidation process minimizes odor production. For large-scale projects, we can add an odor treatment device (activated carbon adsorption) to meet stricter environmental standards.

Q: Does the treated water meet drinking water standards?A: The current design targets agricultural irrigation standards (GB5084-2005). If drinking water is required, we can add post treatment filtration system (ultrafiltration + reverse osmosis) to upgrade the process, ensuring compliance with GB 5749-2006 drinking water standards.
