Advanced Anaerobic Digestion (AAD)
Biogas plant with high-efficiency mixing technology
Achieving Full Mixing - No Dead Space
Improve digestion efficiency with a mixer capable of moving up and down / left and right (10° ~ 350°).
Suppression of upper scum and prevention of lower sediment sedimentation by preventing the occurrence of dead space in the digester
Mixing efficiency verified by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis
Determination of mixer specifications / no. of units considering inlet solid concentration and digester capacity / shape
Easy to attach and detach during installation and maintenance, enabling easy and efficient maintenance
Applications
-
For increased production of biogas: more than 120% increase in biogas production (compared to non-solubilization) / 30% reduction in residence time in anaerobic digester
-
Simultaneous solubilization and reduction achieved. Biogas production increase of 140% or more (compared to non-solubilization) / sludge reduction rate of 90% achieved.
-
For energy self-sufficiency in sewage treatment plant.
What is Anaerobic Digestion (AD)?
An established technology to decompose organic matter into methane and carbon dioxide through different steps of hydrolysis, acid fermentation, and methane fermentation in oxygen-free environment.
Energy input is low because there is no oxygen supply, and sludge generation is low because anaerobic microorganisms with a slow growth rate are used.
AD is implemented for organic waste volume reduction and renewable energy production facilities.
The AAD Advantage
-
Sediment deposition is sent through an agitator capable of up and down/left and right flow.
-
Even when the inflow TS is 8% or more our technology can output consistent levels of biogas.
-
Equipped with an automatic control system linked with digester and measurement equipment.
