Anaerobic water treatment is a proven means of reducing high-strength BOD and COD in effluent wastewater. Usually, anaerbobic processes are implemented when treating more concentrated wastewater. The anaerobic sludge contains various groups of micro organisms that work together to eventually convert organic material to biogas via hydrolysis and acidification.

De.mem offers a wide range of anaerobic digestion treatment systems such as anaerobic reactors (including Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blankets or UASB) or anaerobic digesters.

Our systems are able to achieve BOD, COD and sludge reductions of 80% to 90%, they also create a biogas, which is automatically captured in the top of reactor. This primarily reduces nuisance odor in the treatment of industrial waste water, but the biogas can be utilized as a fuel source for heating or power generation as well. Further advantages of De.mem’s anaerobic systems are very little sludge production compared to aerobic treatment.

De.mem can also provide a broad range of services to support your anaerobic water treatment system, including:

• Chemical supply
• System optimization
• Operations and maintenance
• Emergency repairs
