Mauricio: Try the link below. The EU has been working on this for some time and fish processing is part of the work. Using BOD and COD for stickwater is a non-starter since the solids content is around 8% and when converted to fishmeal is an enormous amount of yield to lose. With prices where they are now, a stickwater plant pays for itself in about a year. The environmental load from discharged stickwater should not be tolerated and the cost to treat the BOD and COD could be equivalent to a medium to large city. Hope this helps.
You can read and download the BREF from the website, either via the "Utilities and members workspace" page by clicking on "Direct Access to
Public Area" or via the "Activities" page.

Hello Everyone,
Does anybody have information about suspended solids in stickwater v/s COD and BOD (herring and shrimp fishmeal processing plants)?
Thanks in advance,
Mauricio
