Quarantine Waste Destruction - Environmental protection

Throughout the world in recent times we have all witnessed regular outbreaks of serious infectious diseases such as Scrapie in sheep, Chronic Wasting Disease in US deer, BSE or “Mad Cows Disease” (which has evolved into the human variant Creutzfeld-Jakob Disease), Ebola, Foot & Mouth Disease, Japanese Encephalitis, etc..

The nature in which serious pathogens such as BSE (Mad Cows Disease) have evolved into human variants, how BSE/CJD has quickly spread from one country to another and the widespread outbreaks of Foot & Mouth, etc; are a serious threat to mankind and the animal kingdom. This increased activity of such serious pathogens can be directly related to the relaxing around 10 years ago of quarantine restrictions, and more specifically the adopting of “treatment” rather than “destruction” of infected quarantine matter.

“Destruction” of quarantine matter is very different to “treatment” of quarantine matter. Infectious disease control experts have in recent times proven that steam sterilization, microwave and disinfecting “treatment” processes are not capable of destruction of many serious pathogens and in fact, the “treatment” processes themselves are unreliable or questionable. Combustion is the only method know to mankind that results in “destruction” of all know pathogens or infectious diseases. Refer to the document Disease Control for substantiation of these facts.

To restrict the ecological damage already done and to avert future disasters, quarantine authorities are now insisting upon combustion of quarantine matter. The ENTECH Pyrolytic Gasification System in the picture above has been adopted for quarantine waste destruction at an international airport. The alternative of steam autoclave treatment was eliminated when the quarantine authorities received independent report confirming that such treatment is inadequate against many serious pathogens or infectious diseases.

The international airport Pyrolytic Gasification System shown in the picture above receives high moisture and high-density waste (including aircraft compactor bales), and thermally degrades it by pyrolytic gasification into an inert residue or ash. The quarantine authority’s can now feel confident that this disease control checkpoint is secure and their country is better isolated from infectious diseases.
