Options for Fish Processing Wastewater Management
- Fish processing companies have three main options for managing their wastewater:
- 1. Pre-treatment with Discharge to the Sewer System
- 2. Treatment for Direct Discharge to the Environment
- 3. Treatment for Partial Reuse
- Pre-treatment with Sewer Discharge
- Discharging wastewater into the public sewer system requires a permit from the local or regional authority. Once in the sewer, the wastewater is transferred to a municipal treatment plant for final treatment before discharge into a public water body.
- For fish processing facilities, pre-treatment is mandatory. The more thorough the pre-treatment, the lower the discharge fees—especially when fees are calculated based on pollution loads.
- Typical pre-treatment begins with screening, which removes coarse solids such as bones, scales, and occasionally innards, heads, or fins. Advanced dissolved air flotation (DAF) systems follow, effectively removing suspended solids, fats, oils, and blood components. Our DAF systems, specifically designed for the food and beverage industry, significantly reduce COD and BOD5, making them highly effective for fish processing applications.
- Treatment for Direct Environmental Discharge
- In some cases, treated wastewater is reused for irrigation or discharged directly into natural bodies of water, such as rivers or the sea. This option requires a more advanced level of treatment to meet strict environmental regulations.
- To achieve the necessary effluent quality, a multi-stage treatment process is typically used. This includes:
- Pre-treatment
- Dissolved air flotation
- Biological treatment using fixed-bed technology
- Optional phosphorus precipitation
- Final filtration via reverse osmosis
- These advanced treatment stages ensure compliance with any required discharge standards and offer a sustainable wastewater solution.
- Treatment for Partial Reuse
- Wastewater treated for partial reuse is commonly repurposed for cooling and cleaning. Reusing treated water not only reduces environmental impact but also lowers operational costs by conserving fresh water.
Key Aspects of Biological Treatment in Fish Processing
- Pre-treatment is Mandatory: Due to high concentrations of oils, fats, and coarse solids, biological treatment must be preceded by screening and Dissolved Air Flotation (DAF), which removes over 90% of suspended solids and fats.
- Aerobic Processes (With Oxygen): Commonly used for lower concentrations of organic matter, including Activated Sludge Processes (ASP), Fixed-Bed Bioreactors (FBBR), and Membrane Bioreactors (MBR).
- Anaerobic Processes (Without Oxygen): Preferred for high-strength wastewater (e.g., from fishmeal production) as they handle high organic loads well, produce less sludge, and generate biogas (methane) for energy recovery.
- Optimal Configuration: A combination of both anaerobic (for initial heavy load reduction) and aerobic (for final polishing) systems is generally the most effective approach.
- By employing biological processes, fish food processors can reduce pollution, meet stringent environmental standards for direct discharge, and in some cases, reuse treated water.
Tertiary Treatment
- Filtration Sand filter
- To ensure the final treated water for safe discharged and can also recycle treated wastewater.
- The final polishing stage removes remaining nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus), pathogens, and chemicals through methods like filtration, chlorination, UV disinfection, or ozonation.
- Benefits and Characteristics of Microbial Multi-Enzymes
- High Efficiency: Protease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa K-187 can achieve up to 78% protein removal from crustacean wastes.
- Specificity: Microbial enzymes specifically target pollutants (oil, protein) without destroying other effluent components.
- Thermophilic Advantage: Using thermophilic hydrolysis reduces enzyme dosage and reaction time, making the treatment more cost-effective.
- Cold-Adapted Enzymes: Some microbial enzymes act effectively at lower temperatures, reducing energy costs.
- Cost Reduction: Using fishery by-products as raw materials for enzyme production lowers the operational costs of wastewater treatment.
Biological Wastewater Treatment Technologies
- Due to the persistence of these compounds, specialized tertiary treatments are required: By using biological Treatment Process Treatment using Microbial Enzymes for effective and efficient and economical treatment no harmful side effect for the environment.
- Typical Biological Wastewater Flow Process
- 1. Preliminary Treatment
- Screening to remove solid confectionery residues and suspended solids.
- 2. Primary Treatment (Physical/Chemical)
- Clarifiers and equalization to removes fats, oil & grease and pH balance.
- Wastewater flows into sedimentation tanks, where suspended organic solids settle as sludge, and grease/oil floats to the top to be skimmed off. This removes a significant portion of organic matter.
- 3. Secondary Treatment (Biological Process Flow)
- Aeration Tank –
- This stage which the microbial enzymes introduce in order with nutrients which serves as food for the bacteria.
- Microorganisms are introduced toto break down dissolved organic matter and nutrients. This commonly uses aerobic processes (activated sludge or trickling filters) where bacteria consume the contaminants.
- Using biological process, activated sludge systems used for polishing and further reduction of organic pollutant.
- Enzyme-based Treatment: Emerging studies suggest laccase enzyme systems can effectively degrade contaminants like triclosan and oxybenzone.
- Settling Tank
- The vital wastewater treatment components that use gravity to remove suspended solids, reducing pollutant loads by allowing heavier materials to settle as sludge. They function in primary treatment to remove raw solids and secondary treatment to separate biological sludge, ensuring cleaner water for subsequent treatment stages.
- Sludge Treatment:
- The solids (sludge) collected during primary and secondary stages are treated separately through digestion, dewatering, and disposal or recycling as biosolids.
Introduction
- Biological wastewater treatment is a crucial secondary process in fish food processing, designed to remove high concentrations of organic matter—such as blood, proteins, oils, and fats—from wastewater. It uses microorganisms (bacteria) to decompose these pollutants, converting them into harmless byproducts like carbon dioxide, water, and biomass, often reducing BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand) by over 90%.
- The wastewater treatment in fish processing industry, which is characterized by high organic loads, lipids, and salt content, often employs microbial multi-enzymes to enhance the degradation of complex pollutants.
- Microbial enzymes—primarily are used to break down proteins, fats, and chitin respectively, reducing Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
- Wastewater in the fish processing sector originates from multiple areas across the production chain. Each source contributes different contaminants, making treatment a complex but essential task.
- During fish processing, water and various chemicals are used extensively. The resulting wastewater typically contains:
- Blood and tissue residues
- Fats and oils
- Organic solids
- Cleaning agents and processing chemicals
