Anaerobic digestion is a biological process that allows acidogenic bacteria to perform volatile acid fermentation and methanogenic bacteria to perform the methane formation step. This combination of these biological processes convert organic matter into methane and carbon dioxide, a mixture called biogas. This process occurs in the absence of air and is widely used for treating wastewater solids.
This process can be performed in a single stage anaerobic digestion process that occurs in a single tank or in a multi-stage process where the volatile acid fermentation (acid/gas phase) is physically separated from the methane gas formation phase. The multi-stage process allows the optimization of the heat, pH balance and input rates during the various stages of the anaerobic digestion process to meet the needs of the facility.
The products are designed to replace such chemical mainstays such as chlorine, hydrogen peroxide and calcium nitrate, ferric chloride and ferrous sulfate. The non-toxic products eliminate hydrogen sulfide and mercaptan gases, enhance the performance of waste digesting bacteria, prevent fat oil and grease build up and reduce sludge output. As an additional benefit, the products are proven corrosion inhibitors that will substantially extend the life of plant equipment.
These breakthrough solutions offer a cost-effective, environmentally friendly alternative to the challenges faced by plant operators in complying with increasingly restrictive regulatory requirements.
The line of Odor Eliminating solutions are designed to attack odors, including hydrogen sulfides and mercaptans at their source. Working at a molecular level in both aerobic and anaerobic environments, WOW-Air, WOW-Air B, WOW-Air B28, WOW-Air S and FUEL-WASH products cost effectively eliminate these odors while providing the additional benefits of:
- Corrosion Inhibition for Transport Systems & Equipment
- Reduced Sludge Output
- Safety for Employees
- Friendly to the Environment
- Safe to Handle and Transport
- Versatility allows for addition anywhere in your process
The following family of wastewater products will benefit either the single stage or the multi stage digestion process by removal of the sulfide levels which compete with the acidogenic and methanogenic bacteria, causing a reduction in the efficiency of the digestion process.
