Low Temperature Anaerobic Digestion (Lt-AD) Is Set To Reduce TE Charges
Low-Temperature Anaerobic Digestion (Lt-AD) is a cost-effective and commonly utilised waste and wastewater treatment method. It’s usually done at a mesophilic (25-37°C) temperature. On the other hand, many industrial wastewaters are discharged at lower temperatures, and functioning in the mesophilic range necessitates using energy to heat it. Anaerobic digestion at low temperatures (20°C) is a […]

Reviving an AD Plant: How a Mixing System Overhaul Restored Biogas Output
When faced with a critical failure at an AD plant, many would have turned away—but not Ross Mingotti. New to the industry, Ross and his team confronted significant challenges, including a failed mixing system, tank complications, and delayed replacement parts, all of which threatened the plant’s operations and revenue. Yet, instead of giving up, they […]
What is Thermal Hydrolysis? High Temperature and Pressure Cell Rupture Explained
So you want to know; “What is the thermal hydrolysis process?” – and to understand basic thermal hydrolysis technology. Definition Thermal Hydrolysis is a chemical process in which the organic molecules (in the substrate/ feed material) are split into two parts by adding a molecule of water. The process forces the water molecules between the chemical […]
