Case Study: Batch Biowaste Inactivation System

The inactivation system, with associated equipment, instrumentation and piping is contained within a superskid assembly. The superskid design includes all inactivation tanks, vent filters, agitators, pumps, instrumentation and platform complete with ladder to access the top of the system. The superskid is pre-wired and pre-piped such that the owner needs only to connect each utility to one point on the skid to form a complete and functional system.

Biowaste enters the system, sequentially filling one of three inactivation tanks. Once a high level set point has been reached in a tank, flow is automatically directed to the next available tank. The inactivation system heats the contained waste in the tank, holds it at the inactivation temperature for a timed period, cools the waste to a set point and then discharges the waste from the system.
