VINNYTSIA Poultry farm - turning factory wastewater into clean effluent - Reference

Project's context & challenges

Myronivsky Hleboproduct (MHP) is a dynamic and fast-growing company in the Ukraine, based on the unique model of vertical integration. MHP is one of the leaders of the agrarian market in poultry segment. LLC Vinnytsia Poultry Farm is the largest poultry farm in Europe, and is set up with equipment using the most up to date technology.

In order to treat the wastewater of the factory, Nijhuis designed and realized a complete pre-treatment, secondary treatment and tertiary treatment system to discharge clean effluent into the Ukrainian river. The water is produced by the slaughter lines (+/- 90%) and the remaining water (+/- 10%) comes from the rendering and hatchery production, crate box washers, car washers and municipal water.

Solution

Nijhuis won the contract to deliver a complete wastewater treatment plant to LLC Vinnytsia Poultry Farm, designed to treat 5,500 m³ of wastewater per day. The pre-treatment system—including filtration, flocculation, and flotation—will handle wastewater from the slaughter lines and water from the unloading area. An Aquarake system will treat the municipal water.

The pre-treated wastewater, along with municipal water and additional flows from the hatchery and oil press, will undergo biological treatment through a double Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) system—an easy-to-operate, flexible dual-tank solution.

After biological treatment, the water will pass through a polishing system consisting of four Sand Filters, four Carbon Filters, and a UV disinfection unit, ensuring clean effluent discharge to a local Ukrainian river.

The system will treat excess biological sludge using two cloth filters followed by a decanter centrifuge, minimizing sludge disposal costs while maximizing dry solids content.
