Enzymatic Treatment of Abattoir Waste Tissue
Is it just my imagination or are there a growing number of increasingly disillusioned business owners that have one thing in common – they all dabbled with small waste disposal processes that make use of proteolytic enzymes to digest animal carcasses and condemned abattoir waste tissue? At first glance, using enzymes seems like such a logical way to get rid of all those smelly waste tissue, yet the concept in practice just does not seem to work properly on any kind of single-user scale. Despite the fact that the science behind the use of digestive enzymes is very solid, it appears as...
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...
