A laboratory-scale reverse osmosis unit, operated at 30 psi pressure, clarified bail water resulting in reductions of 98% BOD5, 99% COD and 90% fat. The bail water concentrate retained 75% crude protein which consisted of all the essential amino acids for a growing chick including other amino acids such as, alanine, aspartic acid, proline, serine and tyrosine. Reverse osmosis clarification of bail water was found to be more efficient than isoelectric precipitation.
