Fine screening is generally used as pretreatment ahead of more advanced physical, chemical and biological methods. Fish processing plants in which offal is flumed generally employ coarse screening prior to fine screening. In these facilities the flumes discharge onto wire mesh conveyors which allow process water to drain to a collection sump, but retain large offal pieces for transport to an offal hopper. 5.3.3 Flotation Flotation is a wastewater treatment process in which minute air bubbles are generated in a reactor vessel. As these bubbles rise to the surface they carry particulate matter and emulsified oil with them. A skimmer removes the resulting scum to a separate channel while the treated liquid moves on for further treatment or discharge. The most widely used flotation technique for food processing wastes is dissolved air flotation (DAF). In DAFs the liquid effluent is saturated with air inside a pressurized chamber and then released to a reactor vessel under atmospheric pressure. The resulting pressure drop causes the wastewater to become supersaturated with air, which consequently causes the formation of minute bubbles. The operation of a DAF unit usually requires pretreatment of the process water by screening. Generally, flotation is effective in removing fats and to a lesser extent suspended solids, but less effective in reducing BOD, especially soluble BOD. The addition of coagulant and flocculants is needed for improved BOD and TSS reduction. Graham and Yacob (1978) reported low protein and total solids removal with DAF without coagulant addition. Krofta et al. (1988) reported BOD removal of only 35 % and suspended solids removal of only 26 % for DAF without coagulant addition (on-site field testing). Existing DAF units located in Europe and operating without chemical addition also showed low efficiencies in removal of BOD (Table 5.6). < DAF is generally not suited for the treatment of fish processing plant effluents in B.C. due primarily to the large fluctuations in effluent flow and composition, both within and between seasons, generally experienced by these plants which would reduce the efficiency of this type of treatment. In addition, a substantial amount of time is generally required to optimize the operation of flotation plants, particularly when combined with chemical treatment (see Section 5.3.4). Flotation plants may, therefore, not be optimized during the relatively short processing seasons such as for herring and salmon. Use of 61
‘ DAF in fish year-round processing plants in Europe is generally restricted to plants operating on a basis (NovaTec, 1993a). 5.3.4 Chemical Treatment Chemical treatment generally refers to the addition of chemicals to screened effluent. This is required as emulsified oil and particulate matter suspended in wastewater are generally negatively charged. The resulting repulsion substantially impedes certain particle removal processes such as gravity settling, flotation and hydrocyclone separation. Consequently, coagulant which reduce or eliminate the repulsive forces between particles are often added to wastewaters prior to employing these processes. Coagulant are generally used in conjunction with flocculants which are long chain synthetic or natural polymers and cause the agglomeration of the now neutral particles. Both coagulant and flocculants require rapid mixing with the wastewater in order to be effective. Metal salts are the most common coagulant and flocculants in use at full scale facilities practicing chemical aided treatment. The most widely used coagulant and coagulant combinations are: ferric chloride and ferric sulphate, aluminum chloride and aluminum sulphate, sodium hexametaphosphate, anionic polyelectrolyte, and calcium chloride. Accurate pH control is generally required, as the efficiency of coagulant and . flocculants is pH dependent. A disadvantage of using iron or aluminum salts as coagulant is the increase in sludge volume, contamination of the resulting sludge with metals which may make the product unsuitable for reuse, reduce its value, or cause the sludge not to be accepted at landfills. Water soluble organic polyelectrolytes avoid these problems and have the added advantages of requiring concentrations of only a few milligrams per Iitre and not generating extra quantities of waste for disposal (Steiner and Gee, 1992). Nonetheless, there are very few full scale installations using only organic polyelectrolytes. The major detriment appears to be lower removal efficiencies (NovaTec, 1993a). Results of selected jar-test and bench scale studies are reported below. The economics, however, are unknown. Numerous processes using coagulation for treating fish processing wastewater have been reported. Ohhashi (1974) described a process involving heating effluent to 70-100 “C 62
