Green House Gas Credits Fertilizer Products

(Nutrients Recovered & Pathogen Reduction)

Processing Fees

Conventional Municipal

Covered Lagoons

High Rate Digesters

Dairy Manure Flush Systems

Goals of Digestion
Process mixed waste (manure + wastewater) Obtain maximum gas and energy yield Retain nutrients as a pathogen free product Retain ammonia & sulfur in fertilizer Minimize NH3, VOC, & H2S air discharges Minimize GHG emissions

Improving Digester Effluent

Gases Methane, Ammonia, Sulfide, CO2 Phosphorus & Salts

AGF Process

AGF Process Benefits

Separates and Recovers Bacteria (lower yields) Recycles Bacteria to Digester (longer SRTs More Stability) Produces Clean Effluent (Reclaims Nutrients)

Solids Conversion to Gas

Separation Technology
Fine Bubble Flotation Non Mechanical Confined Gas Oil & Solids Accumulation Extremely High Surface Loading Rates (six times normal)

Liquid / Solids Separation Technologies

Clear Effluent from Slurry Waste

Raw Waste

Final Effluent

AGF Effluent from Sludge

Dairy Waste Effluent

Stabilization Process

Stabilization Process Efficiency

Pasteurization Process

Pasteurization System

Steam Boiler

Belt Press Volumes

Total Solids Removed

Summary
Improved Digester Stability (foam) 78% VS Destruction (AGF) 26% Reduction in Solids Hauled Reduction in Dewatering Time Greater Gas Production & Quality Class A Biosolids (+12%) Well Stabilized Biosolid Product

Flotation Separation (AGF)

Tranquil Separation (not disruptive to bacterial consortia) Hydrophobic Separation Totally Confined Process Non-mechanical Process Low Energy Demand
