  • TREATMENT OF ORGANIC MATTER
    Publication number: 20110035956
    Abstract: A method for treatment of organic matter, and inorganic matter that has been biologically contaminated, such as human cadavers, animal carcasses and clinical waste, to prepare the matter for burial or other disposal is disclosed. The method involves freeze-drying the size-reduced organic matter whilst subjecting the partially-dehydrated remains to a series of vacuum-pressure cycles. Process conditions are chosen so as to favour microbial inactivation.
