Disclosed is a regasifying pasteurization system and related methods using compressional waves. The system first degasifies the incoming liquid acoustically and under a static pressure below atmospheric pressure. The compressional waves used in degasification are preferably modulated to increase efficiency. The degassed liquid is then exposed to vaporous cavitation in a microorganism disintegrator wherein microorganisms are disintegrated and killed, preferably using frequency modulated compressional waves and vacuum pressures. The regassified pasteurization system also includes a regasification subsystem which injects gases back into the liquid. The gases are sometimes the same gases removed during the degasification step. The degasification and disintegration step form independent subsystems and combine to form a pasteurization subsystem all of which can be used independent of the regasification subsystem.
