Advanced anaerobic digestion with external separation

The food and beverage industry requires the total removal of suspended solids (TSS), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD<sub>5</sub>), and oils and greases (O&amp;G). Therefore, they need an efficient solution, highly resilient to process alterations during wastewater treatment with minimal operator intervention.


<h2>An Efficient Direct Air Flotation Treatment Method</h2>
The Global Water &amp; Energy’s SUPERFLOT™ system uses the dissolved air flotation method, which forces floating contaminants to the surface of wastewater, using a curtain of fine air bubbles injected under negative pressure. The air bubbles cling to the suspended particles, which float to the surface. When the atmospheric pressure returns, these rise to the surface, carrying solids, fat, oil, and grease. These are then scraped off and disposed of. A surface skimmer then removes them into an internal hopper for further handling. There are many applications suited to this process. These include livestock processing, laundries and textiles, pulp and paper manufacture, plastics recycling, and food production, to mention a few. The SUPERFLOT system can also operate in tertiary mode with combined coagulant/flocculant dosing. Wastewater cleaned this way may be discharged into surface water subject to local regulations.

If your industry has strict discharge requirements, it is still next to impossible to design a full biological treatment. However, a state-of-the-art and efficient solution using enhanced aerobic methods converts organic pollution to carbon dioxide and water during wastewater treatment.


<h2>A Flexible wastewater treatment Technology for Small Projects</h2>
The Global Water &amp; Energy’s SEQUOX sequencing batch reactor series is an energy-efficient way to treat industrial wastewater thoroughly. The process begins when the liquid enters a chamber where the solids settle. Thereafter it enters an aeration tank where microorganisms digest the remaining contamination treating it completely beyond minimal legal requirements.

The Aerobic SBR Wastewater Treatment is ideal for small projects with variable wastewater composition and irregular or seasonal wastewater production applications. It is available as a single tank or multiple reactors. It allows full treatment of the water in one basin. It operates in a repetitive sequence of filling, aerating, settling, and draining.

Raw biogas produced by digestion, for example during an anaerobic process is approximately 60% methane. If you need to upgrade your biogas in order to burn it safely then you first need to remove the hydrogen sulfide. Scrubbing upgrades it to biomethane. This can then be used as a substitute for natural gas.


<h2>A high-performance effective way to upgrade Biogas simply and efficiently</h2>
The Global Water &amp; Energy’s SULFURIX™ tower washes raw biogas with aerated, sulfide-free wastewater. Sulfides in the biogas dissolve in the liquid and are absorbed by the biomass within the wastewater. The wash water flow rate is set to facilitate the dissolving of all H<sub>2</sub>S from the biogas, at the prevailing pH and temperature. Any biological treatment that takes place provides a factor of safety to ensure optimal scrubbing.

Typically about 80-95% sulfide removal is obtained with one H2S Scrubber for Biogas. However, putting two towers in series allows a second phase during which more than 99% cleansing is feasible. This is a unique solution well in advance of other options and offers an excellent blend of simple, efficient operation and high performance. Moreover, it does not require media replacement or chemical additives helping hold costs down.

If you are looking for a compact and sustainable solution to remove organic pollution from your industrial wastewater and you have limited space available, then the expanded granular sludge bed digestion method is your answer. Thanks to its tower-like configuration, the ANUBIX - T can be utilized in applications with limited available space for the industrial wastewater treatment plant. This reactor can be successfully used to treat wastewaters whose composition will guarantee the creation of anaerobic granular sludge.


<h2>A Fast, High capacity EGSB Wastewater Treatment Plant</h2>
The Global Water &amp; Energy’s Annubix T is a fast-flowing process that uses bacteria to degrade the sludge, producing a biogas by-product in turn. Raw industrial wastewater needs to be pre-treated in order<strong> </strong>to prepare for the process. It is a reliable system with ultra-high organic loading capacity and a minimal footprint.

During the process, the wastewater passes through two separate layers of anaerobic sludge. It then enters a special three-phase separator at the top of the reactor tank, separating the treated water from the produced biogas. Besides, the treated effluent leaves the system via a collector pipe. Finally, the biogas is ready for further conditioning or burning off in a biogas flare.

Optional customization and enhancements are available for pre-settling solids, degassing, and heating or cooling the liquid based on your requirements. This process can be used to treat industrial wastewater from breweries, soft drinks &amp; other beverages production, paper mills, starch production, etc.

&nbsp;

Anaerobic EGSB wastewater treatment

If you need to remove organic compounds from your wastewater, the up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket method is your solution. It is suitable for high-strength wastewaters with Chemical Oxygen Demand. Typical effluents treated this way originate from breweries, soft drink factories, paper mills, starch manufacturers, and food processing plants.


<h2>Save effluent discharge cost with a sustainable and effective solution</h2>
The Global Water &amp; Energy’s Anubix B process utilizes an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) Reactor. It has proved to be a highly effective and reliable method for the biological treatment of industrial wastewater streams. The system works both with granular sludge as well as flocculant sludge.

During this process, Anaerobic organisms in the sludge blanket remove organic contamination from the water as it passes through. The remaining sludge sinks safely to the bottom of the tank for the anaerobic process to continue. There is a three-phase separator, installed internally which separates the treated water from the produced biogas. The treated effluent leaves the tank via a collector pipe. The biogas produced is then sent for conditioning and/or utilization or disposed of in a biogas flare.

Manure fertilizer needs to be made marketable by making them visually attractive, with high level of hygiene frequently required for export. A full processing line can provide a cost-efficient, start-to-end solution to form pellets, which are uniform with smooth surface and high stability of the granulate, ready for transporting.


<h2>Reliable, standardised system focused on processing poultry manure</h2>
Dorset’s Pelleting line is a fully equipped standardised pelleting line, dedicated for volumes of 400 Kg/H or 800 Kg/H. It is a full processing line, mounted on a steel platform. It includes all the parts required for pelleting dry poultry manure: a crusher, dosing system, pellet press, dust sieve, cyclone, sanitation and a cooling system.

Most wastewater treatment plants processing slurry use techniques that result in waste streams which by itself have little or no value and are difficult to process further. However, this pelleting line for manure fertilizer combines these substances for effective and configurable production of green chemical fertilizer. This results in a customer specific supply of fertilizer to the end-user.

Compaction machines and technologies crush or compress materials and make them denser. Compaction can be used to simply save space or to shape materials into a desired form or format. Tablets, pellets, or briquets are formed by compactors but powder presses also help form cosmetic eyeshadow or face powder.

Compaction

Pelleting equipment transforms powdered, mashed, or grounded material into a denser cylindrical shape. Pellet processing compresses the fine material against a perforated die, where it will be shaped and cut. Although granulating and extrusion also produce pellet-like products, manufacturing pellets is a distinct process.

As an alternative to conventional fuels, biogas is produced from the processing of biomass resources as an industrial feedstock. Biogas is a renewable and local energy source that contributes to sustainable heat and power production. Besides making use of agricultural wastes such as crop and forest residues and animal manure, biogas production converts organic wastes from industrial and municipal waste to energy. This is usually achieved by implementing the anaerobic digestion process in biogas plants.

Carbon blacks are fine pigment particles that consist mainly of carbon. Its production became popular in the second century with the establishment of paper production. Hydrocarbons such as oil and natural gas are the basic raw materials for manufacturing them. However, the properties of carbon black differ depending on the processes carried out with the use of carbon machinery and production technology.

Dyes lend color to the things we consume. The foods we eat, the clothes we wear, and even the keyrings that separate your bunch all have a splash of dye added. Historically, colors were extracted from the natural world, but that process has been replaced by processing technology. Dye manufacturing equipment produces colors that are high in definition and consistency.

Painting as an integral aspect of the human tradition dates to thousand years ago. Of the many properties of the product, the drying time is important to consumers. The thickness of the paint and environmental factors like humidity affect this parameter. Paint manufacturing equipment must include a humidity test chamber to assess the behavior of paint under different weather conditions.
