What is industrial thermal processing?
Industrial thermal processing encompasses processes using heat, temperature and holding time to treat products, fluids, equipment or effluents under controlled conditions.
What is the difference between sterilization and pasteurization?
Sterilization aims to achieve a defined level of microbial reduction through a validated process. Pasteurization primarily aims to reduce the microbial load while preserving the product’s characteristics. The appropriate process depends on the product, its thermal sensitivity and the applicable requirements.
How can biological effluents be decontaminated?
Biological effluents can be treated using a controlled thermal process to reduce their microbial load before discharge. Cycle parameters are defined according to the characteristics of the effluents and the project requirements.
What is an EDS?
An EDS, or Effluent Decontamination System, is a system designed to collect and treat effluents that may present a biological risk. Treatment is carried out according to a defined and controlled thermal cycle.
Does Actini Group provide on-site services?
Yes. Our teams can carry out installation, commissioning, testing, maintenance and various technical support operations on site.
Does Actini Group operate internationally?
