Dealing with Indigestion
Maintaining a stable and healthy digestion process is key to maximizing the beneficial use of biosolids and keeping solids disposal costs low. Digester upsets can quickly become very costly, and both process design and operation play an important role in reducing 'indigestion'. During this webinar, we discuss the digestion process, how mixing plays an important role in process stability and how to diagnose and treat common digester ailments.

Here's what you'll learn:
  • A deeper understanding of anaerobic digester biology and the digestion process
  • How to apply best practices to maximize digester performance and improve process stability
  • How proper mixing design plays an important role in the success of a digester

That's Not a Digester
Not all tanks are Digesters. Blend Tanks, Storage Tanks, EQ Basins, and others are all important but distinct in their use and design. Designing mixing for these applications needs to match the function of each tank. During this webinar, we discuss the role and differences between the different tanks in a Solids Handling process, how these differences impact the design of the mixing system for each, and how to quantify the design requirements when specifying mixing capacity.

Here's what you'll learn:
  • How to characterize tanks within a solids handling process
  • The impact each type of tank has on the mixing system design
  • How to properly specify mixing system performance to ensure optimal operation
