Solid Waste Digestion (SWD) process – Green energy from waste reduction
Solid Waste Digestion (SWD) process utilizes advanced Continuous Stirred Tank Reactor (CSTR) technology offering an efficient and reliable solution for waste reduction and green energy production.
Designed to treat industrial effluents with high suspended solids, the SWD process is a proven method for sustainable waste management.
Key characteristics:
- Completely mixed reactor design, available with or without sludge separation and recycling to improve flexibility.
- Mixing using top, or side-entry mixers ensures even distribution of anaerobic biomass, maximizing contact with organic material.
- Converts both soluble and solid chemical oxygen demand (COD) into biogas, which is temporarily stored in the reactor headspace for later use.
The SWD process is ideal for wastewater streams that include:
- High concentrations of solids, ensuring effective digestion and energy recovery.
- Elevated levels of fats, oils, and greases, making it perfect for industries like food processing and rendering.
- Significant calcium content, effectively preventing scaling issues.
- High ammonia concentrations, ensuring stable and reliable anaerobic digestion.
