  1. Great Green Gobs of Opportunity @ Food & Beverage Facilities AnMBR 2011 Process Expo Graig Rosenberger & Todd Broad

  2. BIOTHANE a VEOLIA WATER COMPANY • Founded in 1979 • Leading supplier of Anaerobic Systems in North America • 100+ Installations in NA, 500+ worldwide • Extensive F&B experience • Design-Builder with full EPC contracting • Part of Veolia Water

  3. Pentair X-Flow • 35 years of experience in providing membrane technology for water and wastewater • 45% of the world largest UF water projects use Pentair X-Flow membranes • Along with Pentair Südmo and Pentair Haffmans offers valves, components & quality control equipment to the F&B industries • Part of Pentair Inc. • www.xflow.com

  4. Anaerobic Membrane BioReactor

  5. Block flow diagram illustrates the AnMBR system fundamentals The Process Flow

  6. Equalization is site specific Unique Reactor Design Reactor Tank – Bolted or Welded, Coated or Stainless Steel Proprietary Mixing System Foam Control System Support Systems Precipitation Control System Unique operating parameters for membranes and reactor integration Full automation for easy operation and integration into modern facilities System flexibility to adapt easily to existing manufacturing facilities Biogas utilization packages – plant boiler or cogeneration The Anaerobic Process

  7. Pentair X-Flow Crossflow Membranes • Proven durable tubular membrane construction • Membrane type: F4385 (PVDF, 5.2 mm ID) • Module type: 38CR (33 m2/module) • Backing material: Woven/non woven • Configuration: Series (capacity) • Process: Crossflow • US certification: Title 22 compliant • Flux: 15 - 35 lmh • TMP (psi): 1 - 6 • Membrane lifetime: 6 -10 yr

  8. 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

  9. 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

  10. 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

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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

  14. AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorExperience Lab Bench top Pilot Testing Europe – 4 units United States – 2 units In Design and/or Construction Biodiesel – United States Dairy – United States Food Processing – United States Ethanol – Europe

  15. Full Scale Facility in Operation Field Proven AnMBR Full Scale Operation Daisy Brand, Inc, Garland, Texas • Successfully Started in August 2007 on cottage cheese whey and wash water • Expanded capacity in October 2009 • Flow ~ 50,000 gpd; COD in = 60,000 mg/L; COD out < 300 mg/L

  16. System Performance

  17. AnMBR - Anaerobic Membrane BioReactorConclusions • Field Proven Greater than 99% COD Removal Efficiency • Unparallel & Unprecedented Reliability and Robustness • Integrate with Proactive Production Facility Waste Management for Ultimate Sustainable Solutions • Ability to Change the Economics of “Traditional” Thinking • Anaerobic Membrane BioReactor IS the Next Generation of Anaerobic Technology
