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...
Read MoreMortality 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...
