Description
The effluent from the meat processing industry contains high levels of proteins in the form of blood and muscle. There are also considerable quantities of animal fats and in slaughtering facilities, of manure. Due to the nature of the industry there are seasonal variations in the flow and organic loading based on the kill. Effluents containing blood are highly coloured and due to their very high organic strength they can cause oxygen depletion in an activated sludge treatment plant. The
degradation of proteins gives rise to the production of considerable quantities of ammonia. It is therefore important that the proteins are broken down efficiently so that nitrification can be established in the wastewater treatment plant.
Situations in which the use of BVL 5100 are beneficial include:
- Plant start up
- Poor settlement
- Overloaded plants
- Poor final effluent quality
- Shock recovery
- Bulking sludge
- Poor oxygen transfer
„Biovala“ harnesses the power of environmental biotechnology to solve the problems by degrading the proteins, fats and faeces in an exceptionally efficient manner. „BVL 5100“ uses only harmless, natural micro-organisms that deal with the problem by degrading the organic matter to CO2 and H2O in a highly effective and environmentally acceptable way.
What is BVL 5100?
„BVL 5100“ consists of a carefully selected blend of natural micro-organisms that have the ability to efficiently degrade proteins and, in particular, blood and other organic materials in the effluents arising from the meat processing and slaughtering industry. The wide range of strains have been specially chosen for their ability to produce the broad range of enzymes required to completely degrade the organic matter. These strains grow at a fast rate so that they can quickly establish dominance in the biological population. The product contains strains that have the ability to produce good floc structure which will settle well and produce a clear final effluent. The strains in the product work in harmony with the existing biomass and increase its overall efficiency so that plant performance is restored as quickly as possible.
The type of systems in which BVL 5100 can be used include:
- Activated sludge
- Biotowers
- Aerated lagoons
- Oxidation ditches
The microbial strains are produced as single pure cultures, harvested, stabilised on a cereal base and blended together to produce the final product. Extensive checks are conducted throughout the process to ensure purity and quality of the product.
