Our Vision

Green Solutions to protect our Environment and Saving The Planet’s Water Pioneering the way towards safe clean drinking water, for all people and animals

Putting the good back in water and the working environment.

COMPANY VISION

Consume – it primary objective is the provision of a solution to the problem of unclean water thus eliminating the dangers of using contaminated water and in turn ensuring that water used for domestic and industrial use is free of water borne disease forming bacteria, chlorine and harmful chemicals. We are pioneering the way towards people and animals having access to safe clean water for consumption, cleaning, bathing and recreation and product quality, accountability, certification, sustainability and market penetration are vitally important to us.

We at Consume – It have a product that is unique, viable, and in most cases cost effective due to its functionality,

that will change the basic principles around water treatment and having water that is free from bacteria and

water borne disease.

This will assist the poultry farmer in more ways than one.

WHY ARE WE HERE?

CONSUME – IT & Poultry Abattoirs

Poultry Abattoir Waste Water Treatment Plants – South Africa

Background: Waste Water Treatment Plants have a number of difficult issues to deal with which makes it a nightmare for most companies as crippling financial penalties are often paid to the local authorities for not complying with the regional effluent standards. In a chicken abattoir waste water treatment plant, the water is contaminated with lots of organics, like chicken fat (the most complex hydrocarbon) blood, feathers, chicken skin, and many more. The BOD (Biological Oxygen Demand), the COD (Chemical Oxygen Demand), Phosphates (from the cleaning products used in plant cleaning) and more.

Our Experience in this field: We currently hold supply agreements with four of the mayor chicken abattoirs in South Africa. We are under a nondisclosure agreement with them, so their names may not be used.

The Methodology we used: All effluent goes through a screen to remove feathers, beaks and other solid particles 1. Effluent flows into an anaerobic retention pond and is held here for a period of 5 days. 2. After that the effluent is pumped to an aerated pond where micro bubbles add oxygen to the water for a period of 1,5 days and the effluent is retained here for a further 3 days, without the addition of oxygen, before it flows through to the clarification pond. 3. The water enters the clarification pond, fitted with a return line for sludge to feed back the excess biomass to the aerobic pond (activated sludge). The retention time in the clarification pond is 1.5 days.

1. Our Treatment Regime: Anaerobic Phase with PURESAN Bio Block

o The PURESAN Bio Block contains solid oxygen and a consortium of specially selected bacteria to ensure complete degradation of all solids o The oxygen assists the bacteria in their rapid activation and multiplication. Once the oxygen is depleted, the bacteria is capable to switch to anaerobic respiration. o This anaerobic phase treatment is to control the malodors and reduce the sludge layer formation o Treatment dosage was split into a twice daily treatment. o The Anaerobic pond was treated with PURESAN Bio Blocks (each 50g) at a rate of 1kg to every Mega Litre (1,000,000L) of influent

2. Our Treatment Regime: Aerobic Phase with PURESAN Bio Sewer o The Aerobic pond was treated at a rate of 20L of PURESAN Bio Sewer per 1 Mega Litre (1,000,000 L) of water. o This aerobic phase treatment is to effect nitrification and denitrification, as well as to create enough biomass to enable sufficient bio media for activated sludge that is returned to the Aerobic phase, before the clarification pond. o Untreated domestic waste water contains ammonia. Nitrification is a biological process that converts ammonia to nitrite and then to nitrate. If regional effluent water standards require that the resulting nitrate be removed, one treatment alternative is the process of denitrification, in which nitrate is reduced to nitrogen gas.

3. Our Treatment Regime: Clarification Pond Water is pumped into the clarification pond and after 1.5 days the water quality is fit for reuse in the production facility, or in compliance with waste water standards to dump into the local authority effluent system.

4. Final Treatment Regime: Disinfection of waste water for reuse o In the treatment of the three of the four abattoirs we treat, with the above-mentioned products and phases, the customers decided to reuse the final waste water. The forth chicken abattoir decided to simply wash the final effluent into the local authority effluent system. o However, if desired, a fourth treatment regime could be employed where the clarification pond water would be treated with PURESAN BWT (Bulk Water Treatment) to eradicate any pathogens. o The quality of the final effluent coming into the clarification pond would determine if, after treatment with PURESAN BWT, the water would be suitable for reuse in the abattoir processing operation, or even used as drinking water.

DESCRIPTION INCOMING EFFLUENT OUTGOING EFFLUENT Phase 1 (Anaerobic Ponds) COD 7000 to 9000 400 Aeration Pond Ammonia 160mg/L 5mg/L Clarification Pond Nitrates 30mg/L 5mg/L Final Effluent COD 7000 to 9000 47 to 54

Results:

Summary: o The above results were replicated at all four chicken abattoirs o Three of these sites are recycling up to 40% of the water for reuse in the production process o If the use of the PURESAN biological products are stopped, the final effluent COD immediately goes up to 600 o The above results are all well within the regional waste water regulations
