ADI-BVF Digester

Source: Paques ADI Inc.
The patented ADI-BVF digester, a low-rate system that combines features of the upflow sludge blanket and anaerobic contact systems, will treat most warm waste streams of moderate to very high organic strength.

  • Robust, Low-rate Reactor
    The patented ADI-BVF digester, a low-rate system that combines features of the upflow sludge blanket and anaerobic contact systems, will treat most warm waste streams of moderate to very high organic strength.

  • High BOD and SS Removals
    Removal rates for BOD and SS exceeded 90 percent for a confectionary waste and reached up to 99 percent for an apple processing wastewater. It also treats wastewaters with very high FOG and SS concentrations.

  • Simple and Stable Operation
    The system is simple to operate because it has built-in equalization and sludge storage. It is a robust system capable of handling shock loadings and typically requires little or no nutrient addition.

  • Reduces Sludge Production
    The BVF digester provides an excellent place for disposal of waste aerobic sludge. In turn, digestion of this sludge increases the amount of biogas produced and saves on sludge handling and disposal costs.

  • Avoid Primary Treatment
    The cost of equalization and primary treatment can be avoided because the BVF reactor is able to treat wastewaters with high COD, BOD, SS and FOG concentrations.
