Kitchen waste is the certain man-made trash in our daily life. It is mainly the water and oil, which is easy to decompose. In Taiwan, there is about 20,000 metric tons of family rubbish everyday, and approximately 20% to 30% of the rubbish is organic substance. Moreover, kitchen waste has a significant contribution on the total amount of rubbish. Thus, reduction and recycling of kitchen waste becomes an important issue, and it needs to be solved immediately.
According to the article of Water Pollutant Prevention Act revised by Environmental Protection Bureau on 26 April 2000, wastewater discharges from apartment buildings need to be treated to meet the discharge standards. Furthermore, the discharge standards will be even more stringent in the near future. Kitchen wastewater includes liquids of kitchen rubbish, liquid of waste oil, and wastewater from grinding machines for food waste crushing. If all of the above polluting wastewater is discharged directly to the sewer system, the cost for sewer system maintenance would be huge. To protect the ecosystem and to minimize the cost of sewer system maintenance, kitchen waste and its wastewater need to be effectively treated.
In this study, a kitchen waste treatment system is designed and constructed. This system is able to treat kitchen wastewater efficiently and effectively. Moreover, this system is easy to operate and maintain with less maintenance cost. The treated wastewater could meet the discharge standards with 91.4% of suspended solid removal, 91% of chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal, 96.7% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) removal, and 100% of grease removal.
