PROJECT:FISH PROCESSING PLANTWATER
AND WASTEWATER AUDIT
LOCATION: Vancouver, B.C.
OWNER: Canadian Fishing Company
DESCRIPTION: An audit program
including wastewater sampling and flow measurement was implemented
to determine the contribution of major processes to effluent
loading and water consumption. The facility handles up to 500 t/day
of fish and uses up to 6,000 m3/day of water. Recommendations
were made to reduce water consumption and wastewater contaminant
loadings for each type of fish processing carried out at the
plant. NovaTec staff also made a presentation to plant staff
to make them aware of operating changes required to achieve these
goals
