Biokill

Biopharmaceutical Biokill, Liquid Waste Decontamination System. Biokill is effectively sterilization used to destroy all microorganisms including large numbers of bacterial spores. Heat treatment is most effective for sterilizing wastewater that contains high levels of solids. These systems usually have tanks where wastewater is treated at temperatures and pressures typical of autoclaves. Autoclaves may be used for treating small quantities of liquid wastes in laboratories. Large animal facilities and those with high numbers of small animals may require large centralized wastewater treatment systems. Heat treatment systems can also include grinders, storage tanks, and heat recovery systems. Chemical treatment systems can be used successfully in some applications, although they are not as effective in treating wastewater from animal facilities because of potential interference with chemical disinfection by solids in the wastewater. .
