      abstract = {Two automated systems were designed, developed, and  commercially tested to accumulate blood in troughs and  basins and to transport the blood (system A) and the blood  and lungs (system B) through pneumatic tubes.  System A  picks up blood at predetermined intervals, deposits it in a  holding tank, and eventually moves it into a transport  truck to be hauled to a rendering plant.  System B also  accumulates blood and picks it up at frequent intervals. In  addition, it picks up accumulated lungs, mixes them with  the blood, and feeds this material into an onsite  continuous rendering operation.  Both systems are highly  effective and reliable in handling the product and greatly  reduce the pollution entering the plant effluent.  After  the installation of system B, total effluent pollution was  reduced in a poultry processing and rendering plant by:   BOD (biochemical oxygen demand), 44%; fat, 26%; and  suspended solids, 24%.},
