Abstract :
The focus of this paper is to evaluate the
performance of a proposed treatment process developed
for treating wastewater generated from an abattoir. The
flow operation for the treatment was presented in the
following sequence: filtration → coagulation/flocculation
→ filtration → adsorption → filtration→disinfection. To
achieve this objective, three samples of wastewaters were
collected at designated locations within the abattoir, and
were taken to the laboratory for treatment in line with
the proposed process. Prior to actual treatment, a
preliminary test was conducted in order to ascertain the
level of pollution in the abattoir wastewater. This was
followed by actual treatment as proposed: Paper
filtration, bio flocculation (with chitosan), adsorption
(with bentonite clay), further paper filtration and
chlorine disinfection. The treated wastewater samples
were intermittently subjected to physical, chemical and
biological property tests so as to ascertain the
performance of the treatment. The results obtained after
coagulation/flocculation treatment showed:
