I. Solid-Liquid Separation in Livestock Farm Wastewater Treatment

Solid-liquid separation is the crucial first step in livestock farm wastewater treatment. With high solids and organic content in wastewater (up to 160,000 mg/L), effective separation reduces the pollutant load and prevents equipment damage. By using agents like polyacrylamide (PAM) and polymeric aluminum chloride (PAC), large solids are removed, improving subsequent treatment processes.

Importance of Solid-Liquid Separation:

Technologies commonly used include filtration, centrifugation, sedimentation, and flocculation, with equipment such as screen-type filters, horizontal centrifuges, and rotary conical sieves.


II. Anaerobic Digestion for Livestock Farm Wastewater

Anaerobic digestion is a vital method for treating high organic content, nitrogen (N), and phosphorus (P) in livestock wastewater. This process eliminates harmful bacteria and significantly reduces the chemical oxygen demand (COD), achieving an impressive 85%-90% COD removal rate.

Key Benefits of Anaerobic Digestion:

While anaerobic systems require higher initial investment, they are highly cost-effective for long-term operation and are used in over 2,000 biogas projects in China.


III. Aerobic Treatment for Livestock Wastewater

Aerobic treatment utilizes microorganisms to degrade organic pollutants in wastewater. There are two types of aerobic treatment: natural (oxidation ponds, wetlands) and artificial (activated sludge, biofilters, biological contact oxidation).

Benefits of Aerobic Treatment:

For large-scale farms, A/O treatment provides high treatment efficiency, while smaller farms can benefit from simpler methods like contact oxidation.


IV. Polyacrylamide (PAM) in Livestock Wastewater Treatment

Polyacrylamide (PAM) flocculants enhance the solid-liquid separation process by efficiently agglomerating suspended solids, improving the efficiency of filtration, and reducing the need for chemicals. PAM is particularly useful in anaerobic and aerobic systems to achieve better solid removal and higher water quality.

Advantages of PAM in Livestock Wastewater:


Conclusion:Effective wastewater treatment in livestock farming is crucial for both environmental protection and resource recovery. By incorporating solid-liquid separation, anaerobic digestion, and aerobic treatment, along with PAM and other agents, farms can efficiently manage their wastewater and reduce operational costs.
