This is surely over-hyped, Tom. Eleven-tonnes of waste (which is likely 85%, or more, water) implies that over 9,000 kgm of water will need to be evaporated each day just to end up with a couple of metric tons of pyrolyzable waste. This is beyond ludicrous! Why not simply enzymatically digest the offal, pasteurize it, and overland apply it as a soil amendment? HAS to be some govmint money pushing ridiculous projects like this one!
