The objective of this study is to optimise the wastewater treatment plant of poultry industry. The optimisation of simulation model was done using the SuperPRO designer as simulator. The performance of the wastewater treatment plant for the poultry industry has improved significantly at the minimum cost. The COD value reduced from 133 mg/L to 0.05 mg/L at the discharge stream 1 and 73.7 mg/L for discharge stream 2. In addition, the BOD5 value reduced from 66.7 mg/L to 0.03 mg/L at the discharge stream 1 and 47.1 mg/L at the discharge stream 2. Further to this, the TTS reduced from 33.3 mg/L to 0.0 mg/L at the discharge stream 1 and 1.69 mg/L at the discharge stream 2. Oil and grease also reduced from 3.3 mg/L to 0.024 mg/L at the discharge stream 1 and 18.7 mg/L at the discharge stream 2. The existing model and system can improve the wastewater treatment plant of poultry industry.
