Ensuring Safety and Sustainability with Pasteurisation at Derryville Environmental Solutions (D.E.S.)
At D.E.S., pasteurisation is a critical part of our waste treatment process, ensuring that the byproducts of anaerobic digestion are safe and environmentally friendly. Learn more about how pasteurisation works and the benefits it provides.
What is Pasteurisation?
Pasteurisation is a process that involves heating waste to a specific temperature to kill harmful bacteria and pathogens. This ensures that the treated waste is safe for disposal or reuse as fertilizer, contributing to a healthier environment.
Applications of Pasteurised Digestate
- Agricultural Use: Pasteurised digestate can be used as a nutrient-rich fertilizer, enhancing soil health and crop yields.
- Soil Remediation: The nutrient-rich digestate can be used to improve soil quality in contaminated areas.
Our Pasteurisation Process
Post-Anaerobic Digestion
After anaerobic digestion, the remaining digestate is transferred to the pasteurisation unit.
Heating
The digestate is heated to a precise temperature that is sufficient to eliminate harmful bacteria and pathogens.
Holding Time
The heated digestate is maintained at the target temperature for a specific period to ensure thorough pasteurisation.
Cooling
After the holding time, the pasteurised digestate is cooled down, making it safe for handling and further use.
Final Inspection:
The pasteurised digestate undergoes final inspection and testing to ensure it meets safety standards before it is released for disposal or reuse.
Benefits of Pasteurisation
1. Elimination of Pathogens
Pasteurisation effectively kills harmful bacteria and pathogens, ensuring that the treated waste is safe.
2. Safe Disposal
The pasteurised waste can be safely disposed of without posing a risk to public health or the environment.
3. Nutrient-Rich Fertilizer
The pasteurised digestate is rich in nutrients, making it an excellent organic fertilizer for agricultural use.
4. Environmental Protection
By eliminating harmful pathogens, pasteurisation helps prevent the spread of diseases and protects ecosystems.
