Slaughterhouse Wastewater Treatment System

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 GENERAL
The steady increase in slaughterhouse wastewater quantities is substantial, which requires many facilities to provide a high degree of treatment methods. Among different treatment methods, anaerobic treatment is considered as one of the best treatment option for slaughterhouse wastewater. In this section microbiology and factors affecting anaerobic digestion, different types of anaerobic treatment systems, slaughterhouse process and its pollution potential, slaughterhouse wastewater treatment methods, sludge granulation reported in literatures are discussed.
2.2 CHRONOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN UASB REACTOR

In 1890, Scott Moncrieff constructed a crude anaerobic filter that was capable of developing a bacterial film on stones. The basic system treated small quantities of wastewater and reduced sludge volume. By the 1930s, German cities using anaerobic digestion employed compressors to store the biogas as motor fuel. Aerobic technology later took hold and interest in anaerobic technology was getting lost. Modern highrate anaerobic waste treatment systems began with the development of the anaerobic filter at Stanford in 1964. This technology became popular with the development of the UASB system in the late 1970s. Since then a variety of high-rate systems have been employed successfully in many diverse applications (Lettinga, 2010). Each system has its own advantages and disadvantages and is typically suitable for specific wastewater compositions. Lettinga (2010), Stuckey (2010), and Khanal (2008) summarized some major milestones that led to the invention of modern high-rate anaerobic bioreactors (Table …show more content…

Although UASB reactors have been built and operated since 1971, a specially desirable variant of the anaerobic sludge, (granular sludge) was observed after 1976 inside a pilot plant treating sugar beet factory wastewater. The superior settling characteristics of these sludge granules allowed higher sludge concentrations to be retained and consequently permitted the system to handle much higher organic loading rates. Granular sludge development has now been observed in UASB reactors treating various types of wastewater (de Zeeuw,

More activated copper was added to the filtrate and vacuum filtration was perform again. The error arrived when the filter paper was not replaced because there might have been a hole inside the paper that prevents all the activated carbon to be filter. Since the paper was pitch black, it was impossible to see if there is leakage. The filtrate was less blue after the second filtration. A third vacuum filtration was performed after adding much more activated carbon.

In my opinion I am against the pipeline. The negative effects out way the positives of the pipeline. To begin with, there isn't a real need for the pipeline, so why spend billions of dollars on a pipeline that isn't needed. The cost of the pipeline is extremely high whereas the pipeline might not actually be worth that much to the residents here. There would be taxes and fees that the residents and the business owners would have to pay to pay for the pipeline that could be avoided.

The next system I dissected was the respiratory system. My first task was to find the trachea as well as the esophagus. My goal was to compare the structure of each. I found the trachea to be wider, stronger, and it had a bumpy surface. The structure of the esophagus is small, but versatile which allows it to move easily.

The decomposition of NaHCO3 is an example of Prevention within Green Chemistry principles because all solid waste in this experiment is collected and used again. The only gaseous wastes generated by the reaction in the experiment are carbon dioxide and water, which are benign (Lab 3). The decomposition reaction of NaHCO3, generates virtually no waste, therefore less hazardous chemical syntheses. The byproducts of the reaction are gaseous CO2 and H2O which possess little or no toxicity to human health and the environment, because of the amounts released in this experiment. (Lab 3).

NTRODUCTION The water body ‘St.Croix’ is a river which covers an area of 4271km2, and it flows along New Brunswick and Maine and acts as a water boundary between Canada and United States. “Because of its strategic location, the river has played a unique role in the history of Maritime Canada and the U.S. and remains important for these reasons today” (CHRS. 2007). Picture 1 Source: http://www.ijc.org/rel/boards/saint/watershed_report_e.htm Picture 2 http://www.naturetrust.nb.ca/wp/blog/conservation-planning-st-croix-river/ The picture shows the geographic position of St.Croix river watershed and the watershed itself.

The word dangerous is used to describe something that can cause harm to an individual: a dangerous job is just that. For the first time in the book, Schlosser focuses on what he considers the most dangerous job in the fast food industry: sanitation workers. He does this throughout chapter eight in the section “the worst”. Schlosser incorporates vivid descriptions of slaughter house conditions as well as accounts involving those affected by the lack of safety precautions to implicitly compare the similarities between sanitation workers of the slaughter house and the cattle that are also being murdered there. Schlosser’s main purpose for this section, and the chapter as a whole, is to emphasize the hazardous conditions that workers must endure

Food is the sustaining life force that drives the human race forwards from day to day. As daily consumers of food products, it is automatically expected that the producers of such important products aim to produce goods that will help the consumer and attribute to their health. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. At the turn of the twentieth century, food sanitation in factories was at an all time low. Adding to this issue were the harsh conditions in which the workers were forced to work in.

Based on observing the organisms living in the creek, the water quality of the U-High creek was excellent. However, not all bodies of water have excellent water quality. Most bodies of water with below average water quality are affected by humans. One way humans could negatively impact water quality is through runoff. It is common for farmers to put many pesticides and fertilizers on their crops, but these substances can be washed into rivers and add extra nitrate and phosphorus into the water.

Why, oh why, at that moment I wanted to take a straight trip to a deserted Island and never come back. I even started imagining myself in place full of unicorns just so, I wouldn’t have to participate in the massacre of the fetal pig. I simply decided to be absent. However, as usual the odds are never in my favor. I later found out that attendance was mandatory and there wouldn’t be anything to make up for this missing grade.

As per the context of the case study, we have come up with three possible actions that can be taken in order to meet the excess inventory problem are geographical expansion and increasing the market size by covering the untapped market in South and Central parts of America or making an internal agreement with a small manufacturing company that imports raw fishes and produces fish allied products such as fish oil, fish sauce, etc. Else we can launch a ‘Limited Edition Product’ by increasing the quantity per package at the existing price and providing exciting offers. The underlying cause of excess inventory in Neptune Gourmet Seafood is due to limited target market size. Neptune has to identify areas that are isolated from its product and enter new geographic markets.

The Biotope Aquarium Explained In a biotope aquarium, the aquarist attempt to simulate a natural habitat, assembling fish species, plants, water chemistry and decorations found in that specific ecosystem. A “true” biotope should be a mirror of a natural habitat. There are many good reasons for setting up an aquarium that simulates a natural habitat. Those of us who have done everything, bred everything and kept most fish might simply want a new challenge.
