HPL is an excellent fertilizer

HPL is an excellent fertilizer

The first results from our series of commercial fertilizer trials with hydrolyzed protein liquid derived from abattoir tissue and blood processed with a MAAHP tissue processor. The graph attached below clearly shows the increase in plant biomass compared to the control when HPL is added to soil.

MAAHP Tissue Processors

MAAHP Tissue Processors

Convertech pioneered the development and use of alkaline hydrolysis based tissue processors in Africa. Tissue processors provide an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to incineration and have many exciting applications whenever potentially bio-hazardous anatomical material or fluids have to be processed. More specifically, Convertech developed the MAAHP tissue processing class of technology to effectively process any type of animal tissue originating from an abattoir into a safe, pathogen free and stable liquid (HPL) with varied applications in the agricultural &...

Is Alkaline Hydrolysis An Effective Treatment Method For Hatchery Waste?

Is Alkaline Hydrolysis An Effective Treatment Method For Hatchery Waste?

Article by Piet Kruger Ever wondered what happens to the egg shell after the egg hatches? To be truthful, neither did I until recently when I received two separate requests from two different provinces in the same week asking if hatchery waste could be treated using our alkaline hydrolysis technology. Broken chicken eggs at the start of the hydrolysis process Normally I would be able to provide an answer, or at the very least give an educated guess immediately, but to my utter embarrassment, this time I was stumped. The problem as outlined was as follows. Hatcheries deal with eggs (duhh!)-...

Overview of Convertech’s Developmental Projects for 2010

A Breath of (Fresh) Air – Finally! Article by Piet Kruger As some of you may have noticed, I have been relatively quiet as far as posting new content on this site other than updating the events calendar every so often. Fortunately there comes a time when all can be revealed and today is the day that I can at long last give everyone a glimpse into the exciting new developments packs that are about to be handed over to Waste Resolution Technologies for commercial roll-out as from the end of November onwards. Alkaline Hydrolysis Development Second Generation MAAHP Tissue Processors WRT...

Alkaline Hydrolysis As A Precursory Process To Anaerobic Digestion Of Abattoir Condemned Waste

Alkaline Hydrolysis As A Precursory Process To Anaerobic Digestion Of Abattoir Condemned Waste

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...
