WASTE
Are those end products of food
processing industries that not have been
recycled or used for other purposes.
Waste produce during fish processing
operations can be solid, liquid and Gas
Property of waste: Biodegradable and
Non-biodegradable .
WASTE MANAGEMENT
Fish waste management is the practice of recycling the generated
fish waste with the conception of treatment, specification, control ,
prevention and supervision.
Involves a process whereby waste are collected, transport and
disposed of in the best possible way of limiting and eliminating the
harmful effect of waste
waste management is to reduce the amount of unusable materials
and to avert potential health and environmental hazards.
PROCESSING WASTE
1. SOLID WASTE
Generated from the unwanted parts of fish such as heads, scales,
viscera, fins, bones, skins, mollusc shells, and exoskeleton.
All deposited wastes are stored in separate trays and deposited to a
skip bin for daily removal.
Materials such as polyethylene, polystyrene, polyvinyl chloride, fish
containers and boxes made of plastics should be use in packaging the
waste.

2. LIQUID WASTE
Need holding temporarily and should be disposed of
without damage to the environment
water containing particles of solid waste or suspension of
solid waste, cook water, drip and oil.
It includes blood water and brine from drained storage
tanks, and water discharge from washing and cleaning
WASTE WATER TREATMENT
Process to convert water waste into an effluent that can be returned to the
water cycle with minimal environmental issue or re-used.
I. PRE TREATMENT

[Link] TREATMENT
[Link] TREATMENT
I. PRE TREATMENT
Is the first stage of waste water treatment and issued to prepare
water for purification during the following phases
It consist of removing objects that could damage the plant or the
equipment that will be used during the purification process
First, roughing filtration is usually carried out. This process
separates out the large and medium sized solid waste using different
thickness screen and sieves.
II. PRIMARY TREATMENT
Objective of this stage is to remove part of the suspended solid. Water is
retained for one to two hours in decanter centrifuges where gravity
helps to separate these particles
Process include flow homogenization and the removal of organic matter
linked to the suspended solid
During this process, chemicals like coagulants and flocculants can also
be added to improve the sedimentation of solid and remove phosphorus
III. SECONDARY TREATMENT
Designated to remove organic matter from the water, as well as nutrients such as
nitrogen and phosphorus
Utilize bacteria and microorganism to degrade and eliminate the organic matter and the
different nutrients contained in the water
The most common method is called activated sludge. In this method, the dirty water is
placed in a tank for a few days, and oxygen levels are changed to help bacteria do their
job.
The different types of bacteria that live in the tank feed on the organic matter and the
nutrients contained in the water, removing them from the water and taking them into
their organism.
III. SECONDARY TREATMENT
Second process called "settling" or "secondary treatment“, wherein the
bacteria in the previous process precipitate to the lower part of the
settling tank, generating a mixture of water and solid, which is called
biological sludge. This mixture is extracted or flushed out through the
lower part of decanter and the purified water flows out the upper part
without most of the bacteria and solids, giving rise to clarified water
In water treatment plants, this is the final step, especially if the water
already meets the rules for safe discharge and there’s no need for further
cleaning
IV. TERTIARY TREATMENT
The aim is to increase the final quality of the water so that it can
be returned to the environment and for human activity. In this
step, the water is cleaned more deeply to remove harmful germs,
like fecal bacteria.
Technique used include filtration with sand other material and
disinfection, either using chlorine or UV light to reduce the
amount of microscopic living organism that have been generated
in the previous stages.
FOUR STAGE OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT
TYPICAL FIGURES FOR FRESHWATER
CONSUMPTION PER TONNE OF FISH INTAKE
ARE:
5-11 m³ for fish filleting,
15 m³ for canning,
0.5 m³ for fish meal and oil production.
WASTE WATER PARAMETERS
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD)- measure the amount oof oxygen
consumed by microorganism in breaking down organic matter in
wastewater
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)- measure the amount of oxygen required
to chemically oxidize organic matter
Suspended Solids- measure the amount of solid suspended in wastewater,
including dirt and debris
Oil and Grease- these can damage aquatic ecosystem
Dissolved Solids- measure the amount of dissolved solid in the wastewater
Ph- measures the acidity or alkalinity o the wastewater
MINIMIZING WASTEWATER VOLUME AND
STRENGTH IN FISH PROCESSING OPERATION
Use of dry-cleaning techniques as far as possible
Use of trigger valves on hoses
Use oof containers or conveyors instead of water flume to
transport fish or waste
Use of ai or steam to thaw rather than water
Use o minimum water flow rates to equipment
3. ODOR
- Odor is often the most significant form of air pollution in fish
processing plant
-Fish quality may deteriorate under the anaerobic conditions
found in onboard storage on fishing vessels and in the raw
material silos of fish processing facilities.
-This deterioration causes the formation of odorous
compounds such as ammonia, mercaptans, and hydrogen
sulfide gas.
MAJOR SOURCES INCLUDE:
storage sites for processing wastes,
cooking by-products during fish meal
production,
fish drying processes, and
during filling and emptying of bulk tanks
and silos
STRATEGIES FOR REDUCING THE POLLUTANT
LOAD OF FISH PROCESSING
Sweep up solid waste like fish scraps and use them as by-products,
instead of washing them into the drain.
Clean fish using vacuum hoses, then collect the blood and waste parts
in a separate container, not through the wastewater system.
Put screens or traps in the drains to stop solid materials from going
into the wastewater.
Use dry cleaning methods whenever possible, like scraping off
leftover materials from equipment before washing, using air guns to
remove dirt, and cleaning floor spills with squeegees instead of water
ODOR PREVENTION
Avoid using raw materials that are too old or low quality, because
they can cause strong smell
Store raw materials, waste, and by-products in small amounts,
and only for a short time. Keep them in cold, closed, and well-
ventilated areas.
Put by-products in sealed containers that do not leak.
Always keep work and storage areas clean, and remove waste
right away from the production area.
Regularly clean fat traps to prevent bad odor.
Cover wastewater canals, pipes, and treatment areas to stop foul
smells from escaping
ODOR CONTROL TECHNIQUES INCLUDE;
Install biofilters as the final method of air treatment
and acid scrubbers for ammonia removal ahead of the
biofilter, Install cyclones and filtration (fabric filters
normally are adequate) to remove particulates;
Reduce fugitive odor sources from open doors, open
windows, and general room ventilation through the
use of negative pressure-controlled ventilation
systems
