Vortex Module for Anaerobic Digester

vortex 1

TERIX-Envirogaz’s process uses a mixing system that creates a movement optimized for anaerobic digestion, thus preventing the formation of crusts and the accumulation of deposits. The system, installed in each digester, creates a vortex that keeps solids from SOFs in an homogeneous suspension and maintains a constant temperature, which optimizes process efficiency and performance.

Benefits

Jets create a vortex that optimizes the digester’s productivity
Mixes SOFs at various levels inside the digester
No moving components inside the digester, thus preventing maintenance inside the unit
Allows for the mixing of various digesters through one central pumping system
Pumping assembly easy to access and protected from adverse weather
Platform or in-container plant assembly for ease of installation

Mixing System Characteristics
Ensures an homogeneous mix in all types of digesters, regardless of the level of SOFs inside, thus providing highly flexible operations	All mechanical components are located outside the digesters, thus ensuring ease of maintenance and operator security
Injection nozzles are located along the height of the digester, thus creating a vortex from top to bottom	Feeders are pre-assembled on a platform or in a container, thus reducing on-site assembly time and ensuring product quality
Uses six to ten nozzles, based on digester size, for increased performance	Works intermittently, which generates considerable energy savings
