AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorAdvantages Very Short Startup Times to Capacity Function of seed culture volume Rapid Start and Stop of Digester – To Meet Factory Demands Very short recovery times from loading excursions Anaerobic Biomass is Stable & Reliable - Membrane Barrier Biomass cannot be washed out Organic removal Rates > 98% Incremental biogas generation TSS destruction
AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorAdvantages Mechanically Simple and Exceptionally Efficient Simple layout with quick and easy access to membranes All streams fully contained to eliminate odor Layout fully flexible to adapt to individual site conditions No submerged membranes - membranes fully accessible Sustainable flux rate performance with proactive control of crossflow filtration No inorganic fouling or precipitation on membrane vessels Reliable and Robust
A generic AnMBR layout is illustrated above and exemplifies the following: System blends with existing facilities Layout fully flexible to adapt to individual site conditions No submerged membranes; membranes fully accessible No system shutdown required to repair, replace or maintain membranes Shop fabrication leads to increased schedule efficiency System Layout
AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorApplications High Strength Waste Streams COD > 40,000 ppm Whey, Stillage, Other High FOG Streams Eliminate the DAF (and the chemical cost) Dairy, Rendering, Other High TSS Streams TSS from 1,000 ppm to 30,000+ ppm No upfront TSS removal required
AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorApplications Expansions Free up existing aerobic capacity Greatly reduce sludge handling BOD/COD Isolation Go into the production facility Can be as much as 80% BOD in 20% of flow Meet Sewer in One Step Multiple unit processes NOT needed
AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorExperience Full Scale Systems Daisy Brand Texas – 4 years Daisy Brand Arizona – 1 year Demonstration Scale Pilots Completed Biodiesel – 6 months Ethanol Thin Stillage – 6 months Pilots in Current Operation Ethanol – Europe (1) & United States (1) Chemical Wastewater – Europe Soybean Processing Wastewater – United States Pending – Distillery or Snack Food Producer
