Water sterilisation – stage 3
17 June 2024
Focus area: Energy, emissions and decarbonisation
Program stream: Industry excellence
Project number: 2021-1150
As part of the project, a test UV steriliser unit was installed at an NSW-based red meat processing plant. The trials highlighted the difficulty of sterilising with fat and other debris on the knife, as it would block the UV. There were several alterations to the test unit to better control water pressure and temperature prior to UV application.
AMPC will be exploring other sterilising units as this area of research progresses.
