Abstract :Meat and meat products are some of the primary consumption products required for the continuation of life. The world population accessed over 7.5 billion that means the demand for food is increasing every day. Slaughterhouses and integrated meat facilities are being rapidly developed and established to meet meat and meat product requirements. In slaughterhouse poultry plants, high amounts of water are utilized for the meatpacking process. The poultry slaughterhouse wastewaters contain high levels of organic solids such as fat, blood, suspended matter, and dissolved protein, which can be treated using physical, chemical, and biological treatment methods. In this study, the treatment of poultry slaughterhouse wastewater preliminarily treated by dissolved air flotation, with microalgae culture insert ignore into journalissuearticles values( Chlorella Vulgaris ); development, unlike traditional treatments, was investigated. Chemical oxygen demand and total suspended solids parameters for wastewater treatment have been monitored for 15 days of incubation. 0.8, 4, 8, 12, and 20% by volume algae were applied for slaughterhouse wastewater, and the optimum amount of algal inoculation was determined after 15 days. When the removal efficiencies were examined, the most appropriate amount of inoculation rate with 76 % chemical oxygen demand removal and 87% algal growth insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(as total suspended solids); was selected as 12%.
