Agricultural Waste Treatment - System characteristics
 
The main technical components of the treatment system are:
    Screw press type separators – The screw press is designed specifically for pig waste applications. Each separator unit has a capacity range of 1-2 m3/h and a yield of 30-35% dry material .
    Anaerobic biological reactor – Computer controlled reactor made with corrosion resistant materials. The reactor is equipped with temperature, pH and level sensors in the basic system and can be upgraded to include other sensors such as on-line gas monitor, sludge height and TSS level sensors. The reactor is of mesothermic type, operated at ~ 40°C. Heating coils based on hot water or steam are installed in the reactor.
    Clarifier – Conical clarifier equipped with sedimentation enhancing plates. The clarifier is designed to allow a sufficient hydraulic retention time for optimal separation of biological particles.
    Sludge circulation pumps – Circulation pumps are of positive displacement screw type pumps. These pumps do not require priming and can handle sludge solids without damage to the microscopic structure of the sludge particle.
    Concrete slabs for compost curing
    Biogas operated steam and/or electricity generator (Optional)
