Converting Wastewaters (and Organic Waste Substrates) into Power

Wastewater can be a valuable source of energy when treated in methane fermentation reactors. Here, bacteria convert organic compounds (COD, BOD5) to energy without the presence of oxygen. During the treatment process, valuable biogas, consisting mainly of methane (CH4) and some carbon dioxide (CO2), is produced. It can be used as green fuel for steam production, power generation or directly in production processes. The use of biogas obtained from municipal sludge and wastewater as well as organic waste has been gaining interest from scientists, industry and municipalities, since renewable energy sources are favored to limit global warming.

OMNIA reactors have been installed in many industries and applications: Food, Drinks, Milk, Pulp and Paper, Beer, Distilleries and Chemical Industry.

Depending on your needs and the production profile, we offer various systems. Starting from the most advanced anaerobic membrane bioreactor biogas flotation to up flow/down flow high-rate anaerobic reactors AnoxyBed™ based on granular sludge or carriers; this system  ensure cost reduction or independence from external energy sources and bring a quick Return on the Investment. 

AnoxyBed™

High-rate methane fermentation reactors AnoxyBed™ combine high COD removal performance with minimal footprint. OMNIA AnoxyBed™-EGSB/UASB/DAG anaerobic systems have been proven robust and flexible for industrial effluents. Depending on TSS levels and temperatures, we propose either AnoxyBed™-EGSB (Expanded Granular Sludge Bed) reactors with high capacity settlers or our AnoxyBed™-DAG (down flow attached growth) anaerobic carrier system. AnoxyBed™-D is used especially for repowering existing aerobic plants into anaerobic ones. We also offer services of renovation of existing plants in EGSB, UASB, IC technologies.
