7.3 Seafood Processing Wastewater Treatment Options
Sampling and analysis are very important steps in designing a wastewater treatment
system. However, treatment of seafood processing wastewater largely depends on
the generation time. Sampling of wastewater includes all types of operations for
processing seafood; therefore, samples collection must consider the generation time.
The best sampling location is before the discharge point to receiving water body.
Contaminants such as TSS, FOG, COD, BOD, nutrients are very important to characterize and categorize the generated wastewater. It is always a good idea to perform
jar tests to determine the type of chemicals’ treatment, such as pH adjustment (acid
