MicroSludge | Homepage
Overview

Bacteria eat liquids, not solids, so the extremely tough cell membranes limit the biological breakdown of waste activated sludge (WAS). MicroSludge® is a powerful, robust and compact system that liquefies WAS, boosting the speed that anaerobic digesters convert WAS to biogas and reduce residual sludge for disposal.

 

MicroSludge allows WWTPs to:
·   
Operate digesters at higher throughput to increase digester capacity
·    Feed thicker WAS to digesters to increase digester capacity
·    Reduce residual sludge for disposal
·    Increase biogas production
·    Reduce odour of residual sludge

Unparalleled Performance

MicroSludge achieves extraordinary levels of WAS solubilization.  After being liquefied by MicroSludge, WAS degrades quickly and more easily in anaerobic digesters to produce more biogas and result in less sludge for disposal.

Biogas can be used to generate electricity and heat, produce biomethane, or burned at site to displace purchased natural gas.

Less sludge for disposal saves costs for sludge dewatering, sludge handling and sludge hauling to sites for land application, land fill or incineration.
By generating and utilizing methane on site and by reducing the amount of waste sludge for disposal, WWTPs can extract more energy and economic value from sludge, while minimizing environmental impact.
