Zusammenfassung:Pasteurisation apparatus (2) comprises a first pasteurisation tank (8) and a second pasteurisation tank (9) for alternately pasteurising batches of sewage sludge. Primary and secondary heat exchangers (20) and 929) are provided in the respective first and second tanks (8) and (9) for heating and cooling the sewage in the respective tanks (8) and (9). A communicating circuit (35) for circuit (35) for circulating heat exchange water between the respective primary and secondary heat exchangers (20) and (29) transfers heat between a batch of pasteurised sewage in one of the first and second tanks (8) and (9) and a batch of sewage to be pasteurised in the other of the first and second tanks (8) and (9) to a desired feed temperature for feeding to a digester (5), and for simultaneously raising the temperature of a batch of sewage to be pasteurised in the other of the tanks (8) and (9) to an intermediate temperature prior to raising the temperature of that batch of sewage to the pasteurisation temperature.
