Pore Size in the Removal of Phosphorus and Nitrogen from Poultry Slaughterhouse Wastewater Using Polymeric Nanofiltration Membranes

Nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) are among the water quality parameters that cannot be easily removed from wastewater. Unfortunately, excessive accumulation of nutrients in can lead to numerous health issues for humans environment general (including aquatic life). This study looked into potential use polymeric nanofiltration membranes remove total phosphorus, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite poultry slaughterhouse The wastewater samples were subjected three different treatment systems determined by pore sizes (0.4, 0.6, 0.8 nm) as well an integrated system composed ultrafiltration main units. results showed size significantly affect a system’s overall performance removing phenomenon was supported analysis variance (ANOVA) results, which treated effluent’s concentrations investigated at produced p-values less than 0.01 (statistically significant). According removal efficiency analysis, combination ammonia nm demonstrated lowest efficiency, with rate around 54.57%. However, nitrate 0.4 best about 90.5%. On other hand, observed highly effective ranging 97.8 99.71%. study’s findings offer useful information slaughterhouses.
