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.

The problem as outlined was as follows. Hatcheries deal with eggs (duhh!)-...

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...
