title: Performance Evaluation of Effluent Treatment Plant Installed in a Typical Slaughter House.
abstract: A study was conducted to evaluate performance of effluent treatment plant installed in a typical slaughter house engaged in production of frozen meat. The results indicated that the treatment plant consisting of two stage activated sludge process followed by activated adsorption filter achieves TDS, BOD and COD removal efficiencies of 98.62 %, 99.48 % and 99.08 % respectively. The treated effluent with TSS of 53 mg/L, BOD of 19 mg//L and COD of 74 mg/L is used by the slaughter house for irrigation of eucalyptus plants. The paper covers production process, effluent characterisation, effluent treatment scheme and performance.
