Cellruptor
Overview
The CELLRUPTOR® process has been developed by Eco-Solids International Limited as a cell disruption process, principally for the pre-treatment of feedstock prior to the anaerobic digestion of the sludge.
The CELLRUPTOR® process dramatically improves the operational and economic dynamics of treating cell-based organic feedstocks using anaerobic digestion. Download the brochure.
CELLRUPTOR® uses a unique pressure swing technology to open up biosolids materials, such as Surplus Activated Sludge or crop biomass, to increase the rate of subsequent fermentative processes, including anaerobic digestion.
Anaerobic Digestion
By using CELLRUPTOR® to pre treat certain feedstocks for anaerobic digestion the yield of biogas can be increased, and, if required, the throughput increased.
The process is simple and effective in enhancing the reduction of volatile solids and increase in overall gas generation, without the energy requirement and operational costs of some alternatives.
- Technical information
The process is simple and effective in enhancing the reduction of volatile solids and increasing in overall biogas generation, without significant energy requirement and operational cost.
- Operational Performance
The Eco-Solids® Process results in high solids product with little or no odour, reduced sludge volume, microbiologically inert product, treated biosolids with reduced concentrations of volatile solids, water extractable phosphates, and nitrates.
- Advantages and Benefits
The CELLRUPTOR® process in an effective pre-treatment process for certain feedstocks for anaerobic digestion, where volatile solids destruction and biogas production require optimisation.
