• First priority: health

• Treatment of municipal and industrial effluents

• Focus on effluent quality (BOD, SS, N, P)

• Primary treatment, secondary treatment, tertiary treatment

• 1960 - 1970

Anaerobic Process

COD CH4 + CO2 + BIOMASS

Anaerobic methanogenic biomass

• Low growth rate

• Production of reusable methane (green energy)

• Low sludge production (& biomass is asset rather than waste)

• Granular biomass

• Reduce carbon footprint

(global warming, depletion fossil fuels)

• Reduce water footprint (water scarcity)

• Reclaim resources

How it started

Tower Storage for farms

11

Full scale UASB reactor: SK Roermond Papier Installed in 1983

First granular sludge application

12

BIOPAQ® IC (Internal Circulation)

1. Industrial wastewater enters

reactor and is mixed with

granular anaerobic biomass

2. Organic components converted

into methane (biogas)

3. Biogas collected in lower phase

separator, generating as gaslift

4. Water is forced upwards in riser

5. Gas leaves reactor in liquid/gas

separator

6. Water returns through downer

into distribution system

7. Effluent is polished in second,

upper compartment

8. Biogas from second compartment

is collected

9. Effluent exits the reactor

13

More than 1,800 reference plants in more than 60 countries in the following industries:

• Pulp and Paper

• Beer and Beverages

• Food

• Distilleries

• Chemical industry

• Metal and Mining

• Oil and Gas

• Municipalities
