Disinfection of Dairy and Animal Farm Wastewater with Radiofrequency Power

Radiofrequency power disinfects and disinfests food, soils and wastewater

A major challenge in producing and distributing diseaseand insectfree foods is the need to maintain their sensory and nutritional attributes while minimizing the adverse impacts of treatment. This challenge emerged because of consumer attitudes and market expectations concerning the safety, quality and condition of foods; the adverse environmental impacts of agricultural practices; and expandin...

Photoelectrocatalytic disinfection of water and wastewater

Electrochemical disinfection of toilet wastewater using wastewater electrolysis cell.

The paucity of proper sanitation facilities has contributed to the spread of waterborne diseases in many developing countries. The primary goal of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility of using a wastewater electrolysis cell (WEC) for toilet wastewater disinfection. The treated wastewater was designed to reuse for toilet flushing and agricultural irrigation. Laboratory-scale electrochem...

Disinfection in the dairy parlour.

The dairy farmer has the responsibility of producing milk under clean and hygienic conditions, employing appropriate techniques to clean and disinfect the milking equipment and the milking parlour. The ability of raw milk to retain its quality under storage, and the safety of the product for the consumer, can both be directly related to the bacterial content of the milk. In most countries, bact...

Dairy farm cost efficiency.

A stochastic cost equation was estimated for US dairy farms using national data from the production year 2000 to determine how farmers might reduce their cost of production. Cost of producing a unit of milk was estimated into separate frontier (efficient) and inefficiency components, with both components estimated as a function of management and causation variables. Variables were entered as im...
