Mortality Composting and Pathogen Reduction
The traditional approach to mortality composting does not provide acceptable pathogen reduction capabilities when dealing with Specific Risk Material Composting by its very nature is not a very homogenous process and for this reason composting of Specific Risk Materials does not offer a truly reliable method of pathogen destruction. Multiple mechanisms are known to be involved in the inactivation of pathogens during composting. These methods may include exposure to heat, microbial antagonism, antibiotic production, parasitism, organic acid and ammonia production,competition for nutrients and...

Project Title : Development of a cost effective, pathogen free and environmentally friendly treatment / recycling method for condemned meat products and specific risk material at abattoirs. Introduction Condemned material is continuously produced by abattoirs and can considered to be an environmental and bio-hazardous pollutant unless properly treated. There currently exist numerous ways to dispose of condemned material. Traditional methods include: Rendering plants Incineration Composting Anaerobic fermentation Burying This document will focus on the development and operational...
