Masse, DJ. and Masse, L. 2000. Characterization of wastewater from hog slaughterhouses in Eastern Canada and evaluation of their in-plant wastewater treatment systems. Can. Agric. Eng. 42: 139-146. Literature on existing systems for slaughterhouse wastewater treatment was reviewed and discussed in terms of technology usefulness and relevance under Canadian conditions. The wastewater from six hog slaughterhouses in Quebec and Ontario was also characterised before and after treatment at the plant. In raw wastewater, total chemical oxygen demand (TCOD) ranged from 2333 to 8627 mgIL and suspended solids (SS) varied between 736 and 2099 mg/L. Slaughterhouse wastewater composition in terms of organic strength, inorganic elements, alkalinity, and pH is adequate for biological treatment. Two slaughterhouses only settled their wastewater before discharging it to the municipal sewer. Three plants used primary treatment to precipitate blood and remove floating fat, while one further treated its wastewater using an aerobic trickling filter. Although preliminary treatment at the slaughterhouse reduced the level of pollutants, TCOD and SS concentrations were still too high for sewer discharge without being imposed a municipal surcharge. In addition, all treatments produced large amounts of putrefactive and bulky sludge, which required special handling and/or further treatment.
