On-line Monitoring of Anaerobic Digestion
Pulp & Paper industry
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is ideally suited for many of the concentrated wastewaters typical of many industrial processes today. Although anaerobic treatment had a later and a slower start in the pulp & paper industry, it has become a valuable alternative to the traditional aerobic waste water treatment. A high nutrient concentration originating from carbohydrates, surfactants, resin... can be treated in a more efficient way.
AnaSense® was the answer to the the needs of customers operating mid to large-scale digesters (fermentors), regardless of type of digester or technology. It is an on-line analyzer with a specific sampling system designed for continuous measurements on the critical parameters of anaerobic digestion: volatile fatty acids (VFA), alkalinity and pH. Knowing these enables the operator to fully control the digester and enhance its efficiency.
The AnaSense® analyzer system can also be implemented in digesters with a sludge pretreatment stage.
Operational benefits
- Increased digester feedstock
- Decreased residence times
- Higher methane recovery
