Please join us for the February 27, 2025, TAC luncheon to learn more about innovations being investigated to supercharge the sludge treatment process. These intensified sludge treatment processes aim to stabilize solids at a higher rate and/or in a smaller footprint, increase volatile solids reduction and biogas production, and achieve superior performance in a process configuration that is more like conventional processes than more complex processes such as thermal hydrolysis processes (THP) on the market today. The two processes to be highlighted are IntensiCarb™ and the Microbial Hydrolysis Process (MHP). The IntensiCarb™ process intensifies anaerobic digestion by decoupling solids retention time (SRT) and hydraulic retention time (HRT) utilizing vacuum evaporation to drive off water. This process increases capacity and reduces the impact of toxic metabolic byproducts through extraction, such as ammonia-N, while recovering additional methane. The microbial hydrolysis process (MHP) consists of feeding digestate from an anaerobic digester to a hydrolysis tank populated with caldicellulosiruptor bescii (CB), for a hydraulic retention time of two or more days at 75°C. The CB hyper-thermophilic bacteria and associated enzymes hydrolyze cellulose and other volatile solids (VS) and produce volatile fatty acids (VFA) in an anaerobic, neutral pH reactor. These VFA and VS are returned to the anaerobic digester where methanogens convert them into biogas.Check-in at the site is from 11:30 am to 12:00 pm. The presentation will begin shortly thereafter.
Registration fee for this luncheon is $30 for members (of either RMWEA or RMSAWWA), and $35 for non-members. Retired folks and students will be charged $20.
