  Pasteurization
The batch method uses a vat pasteurizer which consists of a jacketed vat surrounded by either circulating water, steam or heating coils of water or steam.
For contiunuous pasteurizing, it is important to maintain a higher pressure on the pasteurized side of the heat exchanger.

 Continuous flow pasteurization of sewage sludge - Patent 6103191
The pump 56 delivers the pasteurized slurry by way of line 58 to a suitable dewatering system 60, where a large percentage of the water is removed to provide a pathogen free sludge.
Alternatively, the pasteurized sludge or slurry is fed by way of a conduit 62 to a second anaerobic digester 64 where it is further digested and then passed by outlet line 66 to line 58 where it is then conveyed to the dewatering system 60.
The pasteurized sludge cake recovered from the dewatering apparatus 60 passes into a suitable storage bin or reservoir 88 for retrieval and disposal.

Pasteurization was also found to affect the hematogenic and growth-promoting properties of the special milk (raw milk from specially fed cows, whose milk did not produce nutritional anemia—whereas commercially pasteurized milk did).
Resistance to tuberculosis increased in children fed raw milk instead of pasteurized, to the point that in five years only one case of pulmonary TB had developed, whereas in the previous five years, when children had been given pasteurized milk, 14 cases of pulmonary TB had developed.

 Pasteurization redefined by USDA committee
One of the biggest challenges facing the group, according to FDA's John Kvenberg, chairman of the Redefining Pasteurization Subcommittee, was the fact that new science was emerging as the subcommittee was deliberating.
While Scott said that she certainly believes that the original congressional action to redefine pasteurization stemmed from the wishes of irradiation proponents, other industries may be looking at using the term as well.
That said, "Consumer research indicated a lack of acceptance of the term 'pasteurization' for irradiated foods as it was perceived to be misleading (ORC, Marco, 2002)." Subcommittee chair Kvenberg brought up the idea to delete it, questioning whether it was appropriate or outside the charge and scope of the committee.

 IDFA - Pasteurization: Definition and Methods
Pasteurization: A process named after scientist Louis Pasteur which uses the application of heat to destroy human pathogens in foods.
The original method of pasteurization was vat pasteurization, which heat milk or other liquid ingredients in a large tank for a at least 30 minutes.
The most common method of pasteurization in the United States today is High Temperature Short Time (HTST) pasteurization, which uses metal plates and hot water to raise milk temperatures to at least 161° F for not less than 15 seconds, followed by rapid cooling.

  Pasteurization
Pasteurisation (or Pasteurization) is the process of heating food for the purpose of killing harmful organisms such as bacteria, viruses, protozoa, molds, and yeasts.
Pasteurisation methods are usually standardised and controlled by national food safety agencies (such as the USDA in the United States and the Food Standards Agency in the United Kingdom).
For example, the pasteurisation standards for cream differ from the standards for fluid milk, and the standards for pasteurising cheese are designed to preserve the phosphatase enzyme, which aids in curing the cheese.

Pasteur knew that his concept of biological activity by microorganisms was incompatible with the doctrine of spontaneous generation that still had many adherents.
Pasteur demonstrated by his experiments that living germs are widely distributed in the air and are the agency of fermentation and putrefaction.

 Kurma:
Pasteurization's great claim to popularity in its heyday last century was the widespread belief, fostered by its supporters, that tuberculosis in children was caused by the harmful germs found in raw milk.
Besides destroying part of the vitamin C contained in raw milk and encouraging growth of harmful bacteria, pasteurization turns the sugar of milk, known as lactose, into beta-lactose, which is far more soluble and therefore more rapidly absorbed in the system, with the result that the consumer feels less satiated.
Pasteurization also destroys 20 percent of the iodine present in raw milk, can cause constipation and generally takes from the milk its most vital qualities.

 A SUMMARY OF WATER PASTEURIZATION TECHNIQUES   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)

The pasteurization indicator is an inexpensive way of nearly doubling the water produced per unit of fuel, though the long term costs of such systems are still high due to the cost of the fuel.

 Fias Co Farm/Diary- Info on raw goat milk & pasturization
Pasteurization is the sterilization of liquids such as milk, orange juice, wine, and beer, as well as cheese, to destroy disease-causing and other undesirable bacteria/organisms.
Pasteurization destroys enzymes, diminishes vitamin content, denatures fragile milk proteins, alters vitamin B12, and vitamin B6, kills beneficial bacteria, promotes pathogens and is associated with allergies, increased tooth decay, colic in infants, growth problems in children, osteoporosis, arthritis, heart disease and cancer.
If you pasteurize the milk, thus killing the good bacteria, then any bad bacteria that may manage to get into the milk will multiply and grow quickly, because pasteurized milk is the prefect medium for bacteria to grow and there is no longer any good bacteria present to fight the bad bacteria off.
