Anaerobic Rotating Biological Contractor for Methane Recovery From Dairy Effluent

Introduction

A national research organisation is offering a technology for anaerobic rotating biological contractor. The reactor is made of mild steel and horizontal in nature. It is fabricated into two halves. The inlet is provided at the bottom of the reactor and outlet at the top. A fixed film structure made up of bakelite disc is mounted on a steel shaft. The shaft provides more surface area for the biomass to adhere. The two hemispheres of the reactor are fitted with nuts and bolts.

Marketing of the manufactured product

Marketing should be done by the licensee.

Energy

biomass Energy/biogas; dairy industry: waste treatment. This technology is suitable for the treatment of high strength effluent of dairies. The fuel gas generated is ideal for engine shaft operation and thermal application.

A prototype is under development based on the results of this investigation.
