Treatment of blue crab processing wastewater using Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) and air stripping technologies
Crab cooker wastewater contains high concentrations of chemical oxygen demand (COD), total suspended solids (TSS), and total Kjeldahl nitrogen (TKN). Biological treatment of the wastewater releases high concentrations of ammonia. In this study, UASB treatment of crab cooker wastewater was …

Characterization and treatment of wastewater from blue crab (Callinectes sapidus) processing facilities
The process wastewater from three blue crab processing plants in Virginia was characterized. Most of these effluent streams were highly concentrated. For example, the retort water from the cookers exhibited the following concentrations: BOD₅ = 14,000-29,000 mg/L, TSS = 650-6,200 mg/L, TKN-N = …
