It enables controlled investigation of anaerobic digestion and biogas generation under measurable operating conditions. morticia xxx
Product Overview
The HydraNexis HNX 04 pilot plant operates on the principle of anaerobic biological treatment, where organic matter is degraded by anaerobic microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. The process results in the conversion of organic compounds into biogas, primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide.
Raw water is initially pumped into a stirred tank, where acidification occurs and long-chain organic compounds are converted into short-chain compounds by anaerobic microbes. Biomass generated in this stage is separated from the water in a secondary clarifier, with the option of recirculating the sludge back to the stirred tank to maintain microbial concentration. The pretreated water then enters an Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor, where the anaerobic degradation process is completed. The UASB reactor features a bottom-to-top flow pattern and an internal separation system that retains biomass while separating treated water and biogas. Treated water exits from the top and is collected in a product tank, while the biogas can be stored or safely released. Operating parameters such as temperature, pH, redox potential (RH), flow velocity, and recycle ratio can be monitored and controlled.
