EUCO - High Solids, Plug Flow Digester

© BIOFerm™ Energy Systems 2014 The EUCO® Titan plant system is a combination of the EUCO® plug-flow digester and the COCCUS® complete mix digester. It is well suited to extract energy from material with a higher solids content. EUCO® Plant System Biogas Systems for Feedstock with High Solids Content EUCO® is a horizontal plug-flow digester that is operated at the mesophillic temperature range. It is designed for input materials with higher solids content and runs at an average TS value of 17%. EUCO® has a rectangular footprint and a horizontal paddle mixer than runs the full length of the tank. The mixer is powered by planetary drive units at both ends. The tank is heated through the horizontal mixer shaft. Solid material is loaded into the tank via the PASCO® feeder system. The main function of the EUCO® is to liquefy (hydrolyze) the solid feedstock to provide the second-stage digester with well broken down material. Gas production also occurs during the hydrolysis stage in EUCO® and makes up about 50% of the total production when combined with a second stage digester, such as COCCUS®. Technical Components ? Horizontal paddle mixer ensures even temperature distribution ? Concrete coating in gas space protects concrete and reduces maintenance cost ? Robust feeder for individually tailored feedstock charging ? All technical equipment installed in one building ? Frost-proof and low maintenance safety pressure valve System Advantages ? Suitable for feedstock with high solids content ? Handles high organic load ? Proprietary design paddle mixer prevents floating layer buildup and continual gas extraction ? Heating integrated into mixer shaft ? Low parasitic energy consumption ? Industrial grade components ? Fully automated operation ? Professional plant control system with PLC technology ?

It has the potential to co-digest waste from industries including but not limited to: ? Beverage industry, including breweries and wineries ? Food processors, including vegetable and meat processors and bakeries ? Municipal waste water treatment applications, including sludge and biosolids Systems can be tailored to suit the unique attributes of an individual waste stream to maximize treatment efficiency and biogas output. Waste Treatment EUCO® Titan plant system can be implemented as a waste treatment solution. Treating waste on-site is a more cost effective solution than hauling it away since transportation costs are avoided. Auxiliary Systems Many options exist to tie EUCO® Titan into an existing process flow, such as an existing waste treatment operation. Additional systems can be connected to provide effluent storage, feedstock separation and tanks for supplementary feedstock. Energy Independence Creating renewable electricity and heat makes an operation energy independent and protects from fluctuating energy prices. Electricity can be used to power the processing operation and nearby buildings. The process heat can be used to heat buildings or the water in food processing applications.
