Denaturing Abattoir Waste Tissue – What is it and how can it be accomplished ?
Denaturing Abattoir Waste Tissue The South African Meat Safety Act of 2000 outlines very specific methods that are to be used when disposing of condemned abattoir waste. The four methods are: Denaturing prior to burial deeper than 600mm below ground Sterilizing Incineration Any other disposal method approved by the Provincial Executive Officer of the Department of Veterinary Public Health. In this series of articles we will be taking a closer look at each of the disposal methods individually. This article investigates denaturing and the practical implications of this method. Denaturing is...

Introduction There has been a lot of talk lately about the effectiveness of anaerobic digestion as a disposal method for abattoir waste streams. The principle of turning abattoir waste streams into electricity, fertilizer and hot water is certainly attractive and provided that disease control can be effectively incorporated into this process, it is difficult to find a more suitable and comprehensive way to dispose of the total waste stream generated by abattoirs on a daily basis. The One Fatal Flaw of Anaerobic Digestion The anaerobic digestion process by itself does not provide adequate...

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...
