<span style=" font-family:'Verdana'; font-size: 9pt;">Hello Elisabeth,<br>
<br>
A colleague of mine was involved in tests on a system that heated slaughterhouse wastes using an electric current passed through them in a long pipe, but it was several years ago. The different partners in the programme disagreed part way through and I think the project was never completed. As far as I know, it was not written up. However, the system did produce a soup that worked well in an anaerobic digester. I think it was run with EU funding.<br>

<br>
I have been a member of DigestionDigest for many years, but last three years I was off work force due to health issues and was not participating in the discussions. Finally last week I landed a new research project. In the past, I have completed a number of projects on renewable energy, including biogas from anaerobic digestion processes; no detailed calculations though, assessing technical, environmental and economic aspects of a variety of processes/technologies. I learned two days ago what my next research work will be about; it is a very fascinating project, and I am looking forward to begin. The company is planning to build a pilot plant to convert a mixture of organic waste into biogas; it is a thermal hydrolysis process (high pressure, 125 degrees C) that is going to process a mixture of organic waste: about 35% of SRM/specified risk material (slaughterhouse by-products, high probability BSE/Mad Cow Disease), the rest being cow manure and food waste. Government Environmental Agency has reviewed an application for approval and came up with several questions with regards to additional required information. According to my knowledge there is none presently operating similar process and therefore no factual information is available. And, I am going to be the one who has to deliver best estimates available. Do you know about any similar process, either operating or in a research stage, or lab stage that I can learn about? I would very much appreciate any assistance. Looking forward to our communication again.<br>
<br>
Best Regards,<br>
