Our customer enlarged the pig slaughterhouse in Castions di Strada adding a bagging facility and a small local shop for the sale of the finished product. The existing treatment plant, which was planned for the slaughtering of a few animals per week, would not be sufficient to treat efficiently the wastewater deriving from the upgrading in production. The area available for the new plant was very limited and the customer requested the possibility of using the treated water for washing the motor vehicles and lairage.
Considering the limited space available and the need of reusing the treated water to wash motor vehicles and sheds, we decided to realise a new plant to treat wastewater by the membrane technology (MBR).This technology allowed a reduction by 50% of the area occupied by tanks ensuring such a high quality in treated water to be used directly as technical water, without further treatments.
