Thermal Hydrolysis Processing
TeCH4+® innovated double flash Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) is an advanced method in wastewater treatment that utilizes high temperature and pressure from steam to effectively sterilize and reduce the volume of sludge and organic waste. THP is integrated with anaerobic digestion systems to enhance their efficiency. Additionally, it collaborates with biogas production facilities to optimize energy utilization, including electrical and thermal energy.
In summary, THP represents a sophisticated solution for wastewater treatment plants, efficiently managing sludge from primary and secondary treatment units while achieving significant energy savings. As a result, the organic waste becomes more biodegradable, leading to increased biogas production and reduced volumes of sludge, lowering overall management costs. The high-quality biosolids produced can be used as organic fertilizers in agriculture. The hydrolyzed material, with its lower viscosity, allows for doubled digester loading rates. This helps to optimize existing plant capacities, eliminate bottlenecks and avoids the need for additional capital expenditure.
