The paper below describes how to get more room to waste solids, get better settling sludge, and greater decant volume. The paper also outlines several practical strategies operators can employ to increase volatile solids destruction in their aerobic digesters. The benefits to optimizing an aerobic digester include:
- More room to waste solids
- Greater volumes of cleaner decant
- More sludge storage during the winter when sludge cannot be land applied
- Sludge will settle better
- More sludge can be applied to less land area for land application or landfill savings
- Digester capacity can double
- Odors are controlled
