Upgrading Anaerobic Digesters to Energy Factories
PRESENTERS: Ashley Pifer, PE, Ph.D., Water Technology Leader and Wes Cardwell, PE, Project Manager
Industry shifts through technology development and computational evaluation models have allowed for the push of anaerobic digestion facilities beyond simply solids stabilization and into true energy factories. This one-hour presentation will provide an overview of the traditional anaerobic digestion process, five optimization strategies, and discuss emerging trends in sludge pretreatment steps to enhance biogas production.
