I would like to know information about how to treat a wastewater discharge from an autopsy room.  The flow is about 1,500 gals/day.  We are looking for a zero discharge equipment or treatment.

Thank you.

I think a small activated sludge "package plant" might serve your needs. This is not really the kind of waste treatment I know about, so I can't supply any more details.

Also, though it sounds pretty gruesome, you might look into what slaughterhouses do with their waste.

Are you located within a utility service area?  Generally, blood and body fluids which enter a sewage collection system lose their identity as they mix with regular sewage.  You might need a screening device to capture larger solids.

It has been proven that blood is a great source of nutrients for anaerobic biology, check for any anaerobic digester in your area.

Best solution would be Anearobic Digester- Most of the slaughter houses have implemented AnD. However they have huge volumes of Effluent. 1500GPD is very little and you amy need abot 5to 6 m3 Digeter with proper pretreament.

Please vist a slaughter house treatment plant to get abetter Idea.

Hope ths help you
