The aim of this study was to evaluate the use of meat processing industry effluent for microalgae cultivation in high-rate pond (HRP). Three batch operations were realized for a HRP treating a primary effluent post flotation unit. The HRP presented productivities of 13.5 g.m-2.dia-1 for total biomass and 0.12 g.m-2.dia-1 for algal biomass. Moreover, microalgae cultivation seemed to be a good option for the bioremediation of the effluent. Removal efficiencies of soluble COD, ammonia nitrogen and soluble phosphorus were, respectively, 66, 36 and 56%.
