Reduction of aerobic and lactic acid bacteria in dairy desludge using an integrated compressed CO2 and ultrasonic process

Abstract: Current treatment routes are not suitable to reduce and stabilise bacterial content in some dairy process streams such as separator and bactofuge desludges which currently present a major emission problem faced by dairy producers. In this study, a novel method for the processing of desludge was developed. The new method, elevated pressure sonication (EPS), uses a combination of low frequency ultrasound (20 kHz) and elevated CO2 pressure (50 to 100 bar). Process conditions (pressure, sonicator power, processing… Show more

“…Regarding microbiological counts, reductions have been reported of up to 3 log for aerobic bacteria and lactic acid bacteria [16], while aerobic bacteria can be reduced up to 99% [17]. The differences between the reported results are probably due to different HIU parameters used (time, frequency, intensity, amplitude, temperature, whole and/or skim/recombined milk, ultrasound system, etc.…”
