Maximise Energy Production & Minimise Risk to Your Digesters

RespSys-AER200

Anaerobic digestion is no longer just a means of stabilising unwanted organic solids for disposal, it has finally taken its rightful position as an important source of high grade energy production. Water companies are aggressively looking at maximising gas production potential of their existing assets by encouraging import of high strength industrial organic waste. This requires a much greater level of knowledge to assure success. Potential imports require screening for gas production potential and potential toxic affects,and the long term biomass activity in the digesters needs monitoring to ensure maximum performance. The Challenge Anaerobic Respirometer enables all this to be done in a simple cost effective manner. Large sludge reception centres such as those at STW Minworth routinely submitted 10 or more samples weekly for third party assessment at approximately £100/sample. Now this work is done in-house saving £50K/yr and enabling a much higher level of scrutiny. Payback is less than 6 months whilst ensuring greater process protection.

RespSys-AER200 is an extremely flexible and expandable laboratory respirometer system, capable of both aerobic and anaerobic operation. At the heart of the system is a gas bubble counting system which can measure anaerobic gas production rates or aerobic oxygen consumption rates. Each system can accommodate 3 base units of 8 test vessels each. If needed both aerobic and anaerobic tests can be performed at the same time. Your digesters can be optimised and your asp protected against any deleterious return liquors at the same time.
Features include:

• 8 bottle modules
• Magnetic stirrer bases & bars
• Up to 3 modules run on one interface module
• Each module may be used in a different mode simultaneously
• Optional thermostatically controlled heater/cooler units
• Interfaces to your computer

Applications include:

• Toxicity detection
• Gas production potential determination
• Anaerobic biomass condition assessment
• Aerobic biomass condition assessment
• Aerobic treatability studies
• Solid phase Composting control

RespSys-BM advance is a single vessel thermostatically controlled respirometer which may be operated in dynamic, static or cyclic modes. It is an "open system" allowing additions of test substances or substrates throughout operation. It comes complete with built in thermostatic bath, computer and software and optional vessels for solid phase tests or tests using submerged filter media.

RespSys- BM Bio is a "Twin vessel" system ideal for testing short and long term toxicity or treatability studies. Again it comes with integral thermostat, computer and software.

RespSys-Challenge S is 4 or 8 vessel adaptation allowing compost or soil remediation studies
