| Summary: | Chicken processing industries was done in large and small scale in Malaysia currently. The small scale was
referred to the activities done in wet market and chicken processing stall. Chicken processing stall mostly situated
near the drainage system, where this untreated wastewater goes in directly to drainage system. Furthermore it
contained oil, grease, fat, blood and feathers. This study was conducted to assess the feasibility of chicken
processing wastewater as onsite treatment. The fine and coarse sand sized of 2.00 mm and 3.36 mm respectively
were used as a media. Two layer and three layer sand filtration were used in this study. The sand filtration was
initially inoculated with a mixture of 50% raw chicken processing wastewater and 50% BOD5 dilution water. The
batch operation for 10 days was done first to establish biofilms and pre-treatment was applied in order to remove
fat and feathers. Experiments involved the measurement of wastewater characteristics i.e. BOD5, COD and SS for
five days continuous analysis. The both sand filtration had removed 66.8 % SS. Two layer sand filtration had
removed effectively 45.8% BOD5 and 43.8% COD whereas 32.1% BOD5 and 41.9 % COD for three layer sand
filtration. This study had revealed that sand filtration has a potential in treating chicken processing wastewater. |
