Managing the effluent from bio-industrial processes

In this paper, hazard means a substance or circumstance which can or may lead to ill-health in humans, animals or plant life, or significantly reduces their quality of life. Any process or material which does so may be described as hazardous or harmful if it does not, it is regarded as innocuous or safe . 

Hazardous material which has been rendered safe can be treated for final discharge by the usual methods of sewage disposal, and no further comments on this aspect are made here. Rather, the handling and make-safe of potentially pathogenic materials are covered, with some examples of our experiences at Porton Down. Grady and Lim present a comprehensive account of biological waste processing.
