Title:

Anaerobic Gas Lift Reactor (AGR) for Organic Solid Waste Treatment

Value Proposition:
  • Advanced high rate digester design
  • Ammonia/ sulfide inhibition control mechanism
  • Continuous mixing without mechanical equipment
  • Three phase (solid/liquid/gas) separation mechanism
  • No scum formation and Smaller digester volume per unit weight of waste
  • Lower food print area
  • Scaled up to 10 tons/day (Design capacity available from 150 kg/day to 10,000 kg/day)
  • Semi-automatic plant operation and higher methane/biogas yield
  • Generation of nutrient (NPK) rich fertilizer
Summary Application:
  • Efficient biogas production and bio-manure generation from organic solid waste.
  • Utilizes high-rate digestion and by minimizing Hydraulic Retention Time and optimizing biogas production
Advantages:
  • Treatment of organic solid waste for the generation of biogas and bio manure
  • Scale operation: 500 kg to 10 tons per day
