The mcSEAD Technology (Membrane Coupled Shear Enhanced Anaerobic Digestion)
Brochure: Biothane
HOW mcSEAD Works
The influent wastewater is introduced into the shear Enhanced Reactor through the two-phase jet which generates a shear zone in the draft tube. The bacterial agglomerates contained in the sludge are simultaneously disintegrated into small flocs, thus creating a large contact area between the liquid phase and the bacteria. The mixture wastewater and bacterial flocs flows downward through the draft tube, is deflected at the bottom of the reactor, and flows uniformly upward through the outer annulus, At the upper end of the draft tube, a portion of the mixture is recycled into the draft tube by the aspiration action of the two phase jet. The gas bubbles and sludge flocs are thereby re-dispersed.
Advantages
- mcSEAD can alleviate major costs associated with polymer thickening of waste sludge
- Thickened sludge is achieved without negative effects on volatile solids reduction
Capabilities
Biothane's mcSEAD process uses a membrane filtration system to Simultaneously digest and thicken sludge.
Permeate from the membrane system is very low in BOD, has little impact on activated sludge when returned to the head of the plant. This could also be reused as service water.
