Biogas reactor with special gas mixing system for waste water from the food industry

Anerobic, biological treatment

ALMA BHU GMR

The ALMA BHU GMR (gas mixing reactor) is an innovative solution that has been specially developed to effectively ferment wastewater with increased calcium concentrations without causing increased deposits. This is achieved by cleverly using the generated and compressed biogas to circulate the reactor.

This innovative process also includes a downstream sedimentation tank that effectively returns the biomass to the anaerobic reactor. This targeted recirculation enables the biogas yield to be maximized and contributes to the overall efficiency of the ALMA BHU GMR.

Advantages of anaerobic wastewater treatment

High load capacity: Efficient treatment of heavily contaminated industrial wastewater with high COD loads.

Cost-effectiveness: Generally lower operating costs compared to aerobic processes, especially with high COD concentrations, as energy generation and sludge reduction significantly reduce OPEX.

Advantages of our gas mixing reactor

The addition of compressed biogas makes it possible to ferment wastewater with increased calcium concentrations without significant crystal formation in the form of calcium carbonate.

Particularly energy-saving design thanks to the efficient use of heat exchangers
