The Animal Products Development Centre, Bureau of Animal Industry (APDC-BAI), developed an integrated waste management scheme for small and medium scale slaughterhouses. Wastewater is treated in a DEWATS system developed together with BORDA. The system comprises a closed small-scale sewer system, an anaerobic digester, an anaerobic baffled reactor (ABR), an anaerobic filter (AF) and an aerobic planted filter as a final step to reduce odours.
