WASTE TREATMENT AND DISPOSAL - TECHNOLOGIES AND COMPONENTS
Information
Continuous collection and removal of floating and sinking contaminants from anaerobic digesters
CLEANING OF DIGESTER DURING OPERATION -
PREVENT SEDIMENT LAYER
The sediment removal system allows for the continuous collection and discharge of sinking contaminants from the digester floor. This system consists of a patented mechanical floor
scraper, a grit pump and a sediment (solid / liquid) separator.
FINSTERWALDER SEDIMENT REMOVAL SYSTEM
» Sediment build-up is avoided by the regular and fully automated action of the double arm floor scraper.
» Maintains a consistent digester volume > stable biological system
» Protection of mechanical equipment
» Interruption free operation during the cleaning cycles of digester floors
RELIABLE PREVENTION OF FLOATING LAYERS
The floating contaminants removal system is made for cleaning digester to prevent the
accumulation of floating layers while allowing for uninterrupted plant operation. The system consists of a patented skimmer and a separation unit with buffer tank.
KEY FEATURES OF THE SYSTEM INCLUDE:
» Separation of floating & lightweight contaminants such as plastic
from the liquid surface
» Prevention of floating layers
» Easy maintenance access from the top or side
» Gas tight design in any operating condition
» Produces clean digestate
