Slaughterhouses

The composition and strength of wastewater from slaughterhouses creates many treatment and discharge challenges for these facilities. It has high volumes of hard-to-filter components such as blood, dirt, manure and fat, oil and grease (FOG). The Salsnes Filter system can separate these components because of the design of the filtermesh. First, fiber and grain from manure are collected on the filtermesh. These larger particles begin to collect smaller particles to create a “filter mat”. Separation performance is enhanced as particles continue to build-up on the filter mat, creating progressively smaller holes that retain increasingly smaller particles.
