Pentair has developed the anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) technology, together with partner Biothane. The new technology achieves a complete retention of the biomass in the anaerobic digester and brings a significant improvement of the digestion process: more robust, smaller footprint, fully automated operation, higher biogas production efficiency and superior effluent quality (free of suspended solids and typically 99% COD reduction).
ADI Systems’ anaerobic ADI-BVF digester treats raw process wastewater comprised of powder, cheese and high-strength salty whey before it flows into a pre-existing biological nutrient removal system.
