    Product Portfolio

    • Digester systems

        • Hydraulic digester

        • for substrate with a high sediment content.

          The AAT hydraulic digester produces more gas for almost zero operation costs.

          In the AAT digester biogas is produced from dissolved and solid organic matter in an environment devoid of oxygen. By seperating the digester into a main and secondary compartment with an integrated substrate recycle a progress environment ideal for anerobic bacteria is created. Mixing of fees substrate and digester content is achieved by using the biogas generated within the digester.

        • Our components are known for their outstanding operational reliability, availability and high-quality workmanship. We set technological standards that stand out on the practical level with exceptional efficiency standards. And all this at a price in line with the market.

          Our core business is dry digester technology and landfill gas technology. Municipal solid waste (MSW) is converted into energy by separating inert materials and treating the organic fraction by anaerobic digestion. Produced biogas and landfill gas can be used for electricity and heat generation or is upgraded to biomethane which is a substitute for fossil natural gas.

        • Package plant digestion

        • Digester with integrated gas storage.

          The AAT package plant digestion combinies the sludge digestion and the gas storage in a simple and maintenance-free system.

          The installed inclined agitator in the digester is used for the gentle agitation of the primary sludge and grants a full mixing of the digester volume as well as a continuous degasing of the digestion substrate.Through the frequency converter-operation the agitating intensity can be adjusted optimal to the required conditions and the energy consumption will be reduced to a minimum.

          Advantages:

          • Easy operation and maintenance of the agitator (no access in the digester or opening of the gas hood required.
          • Optimal mixing of the fresh substrate into the active biomass.
          • Prevention of generation of sediment layer and floating matter.
          • Continuous discharg4e of non-degradable matters over the sediment conduit.
          • Systematoc ontervention possibilities with changing process conditions e.g. with development of foam.
          • Low investment costs.
          • Long life duration through gentle operation.
          • Low operation and maintenance costs (as no mechanical parts inside)
          • Possibility of performance as a Low-pressure gas storage.

        • UASB-Reaktor

        • UASB or EGSB Reactors use gas/liquid/solids (GLS) separators and overflow weirs in the reactor top section to (a) separate biogas and biomass and (b) settle and return biomass to the reactor sludge bed. Longterm operational experience has shown the following deficiencies:
          • Clogging of gas hoods with fat/oil/grease
          • Clogging of weir notches
          • Poor leveling of overflow weirs and consequently uneven flow distribution
          • Corrosion near the air/liquid interface
          • Odour generation beneath the digester covers

          To avoid these problems IB-MR developed a novel type of GLS separator with special emphasis on simple design with good hydraulic characteristic in order to achieve optimal retention of granular and floccullant sludge particles.

      • Equipment

          • Flares

          • Longevity ensured by high-quality materials.

            In order to extend the maintenance cycle and the life of the consumer, the gas should be free of coarse particles. In order to ensure this, the gas flow through the filter from the top to the bottom and is cleaned by means of gravel or plastic packing. the arising condensate is removed by a siphon condensate sluice.

            When the water level drops the gas is passed into the bypass pipe and into the environment. A gas leakage into the installation shaft or into the technic room is thus safely prevented. With increasing soiling of the filter mterial, the maintenance opening can be used to remove it from the front, to clean it and to fill it again from the top.

                  The outer membrane forms the actual protective construction and is always under a for the statics necessary positive pressure. Through a built-in viewing window the operations inside can be observed at any time. The actually usable holder forms the inner membrane. This membrane moves up or downwards depending on the filling level. In the gas holder with base plate a bottom membrane seals the storage space to the concrete foundation. With the help of the anchoring ring, the membranes are attached to the foundation. Particular emphasis is on the dimensioning of the membranes. Each holder will be calculated individually in consideration of the loads (internal pressure, wind and snow loads). As a result, membranes with high tensile strength are selected. The PVC-coated membranes are flame retardant according to DIN 4102 B1, fungicide, and equipped with an increased UV protection. To protect the membranes from the substances in the biogas (CH4, CO2, H2S, etc.) the inner- and bottom membranes have a special coating.

                    AAT microbial desulphurization is used to reduce hydrogen sulphide in biogas, WWTP and landfill plants on an ecological basis.

                    Apart from methane and carbon dioxide, toxic hydrogen sulphide is produced in fermentation process as well. This acts corrosively on the consumers and equipment.

                    The hydrogen sulphide containing biogas is passed through a packing tank. Microorganisms settle on the surface of the packing, which by the use of oxygen oxidise the hydrogen sulphide to elementary sulphur and sulphate.

                    By adding artificial fertiliser as nutritional component for the organisms and circulating water the sulphur and the sulphate is continuously washed out. The sulphate suspension developing is passed to the inlet of the sewage treatment plant or to the fermentation residue tank in case of biogas plants.

                  • Desulphurization „air dosage"

                  • Easy and low-budget desulphurization.

                    The AAT air pump ensures the dosage of the air requiered for the deluphurisation in the gas chamber of the digester.

                    During the fermentering process in biogas plants, tho course of the anerobic degradation of organic substances creates toxic hydrogen sulphide. Blowing in air causes the micro-organisms to oxidise the hydrogen sulphide zo elementary sulphur and sulphate.

                    For this reason, air dosage is an especially easy and yet very effective and economical method of desulphurization.

                    The air pump used has been designet for continuours operation and is thus especially long-lasting.
