Digester Enhancement

Vacom Systems™ has developed a new technology to improve the functioning of digesters in municipal sludge management as well as for digesters in agricultural applications such as for dairy and poultry manure management.

We call the technology the Vacom Flash Hydrolyzer™.

The system utilizes our core expertise in mechanical vapor recompression to economically hydrolyze organic sludge by rupturing bacteria cell walls through flash expansion at boiling operating temperatures. The results are:
Complete Pathogen Destruction.
Effective denaturing of the sludge reducing the viscosity of the sludge.
Improved mechanical dewatering of the sludge.
Improved production of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) when coupled with Anaerobic Digestion.
The removal and recovery of ammonia to provide a valuable by-product and to improve digester performance.
