Industrial Wastewater Treatment Test Systems
Anaerobic Pilot Units
This unit consists of:
- EQ Tank
- Digester (2)
The anaerobic pilot unit is designed to operate at 10 gpm treating higher strength industrial wastewater upstream of an aerobic process or by itself. The unit has an initial equalizer (EQ) tank which allows a steady state flow control to the digesters. The temperature is adjusted in this tank with heat exchanger(s) to raise or lower the temperature to the mesophilic range (95-102 degrees F) or the thermophilic range (126-132 degrees F) prior to the digesters.
The digesters flow in a series or parallel configuration. The digesters are fitted with high surface area contact media and re-circulation pumps to keep a cross flow of the influent relative to the media. The methane gas that is produced flows through a flow meter for quantification and BTU evaluation. Each of the digesters is fitted with digital thermistors with readouts so adjustments in the temperature can be made relative to the heat loss.
