ReCatalyx BioDigest

Overview

A modular anaerobic digestion package converting suitable segregated organic material into biogas and digestate. Farm and food waste digesters use a feed preparation and mixed reactor arrangement; high strength industrial wastewater uses a separately selected reactor configuration. The package joins receiving, biological conversion, gas handling and downstream treatment.

Product capabilities

• Receiving hopper and depackager where needed
• grit screen
• feed and equalization tanks
• dosing pumps
• insulated reactor
• mixer or feed distribution internals

Feedstock and input

Food waste, manure, compatible biosolids or characterized biodegradable effluent. Reject toxic loads and uncontrolled mixed waste.

Core components

• Receiving hopper and depackager where needed
• grit screen
• feed and equalization tanks
• dosing pumps
• insulated reactor
• mixer or feed distribution internals
• heating loop
• gas holder
• condensate trap
• H2S treatment
• gas analyzer
• pressure and vacuum protection
• flare
• digestate transfer and PLC

Process

Receive and characterize feed; prepare and meter it; digest; collect and condition gas; send digestate to recovery or treatment.

Design basis

Measure solids, biodegradable COD, inhibitors, seasonal loading, methane potential, water and heat demand. Select retention, biomass retention and loading by trials.

IoT measurements

Feed flow, tank temperature and pH, gas flow, CH4/H2S and pressure; correlate laboratory loading and methane yield.

IoT architecture

Local PLC/HMI, buffered historian and secure gateway; remote alarms and reports. Cloud loss does not stop local control. See common architecture and acceptance tests.

Future capability

Flag feed and gas yield deviations and summarize operating evidence. Operators approve feed changes.

Typical applications

U.S. dairies, food processors and wastewater facilities; global markets with dependable organic supply and digestate outlets.

Pilot validation

Demonstrate stable digestion, measured gas quality and quantity, methane containment and a complete digestate balance.

Problem and deployment scope

Biogas and biological energy

How it works

Architecture

Confirm data sources, field interfaces and operating requirements during discovery. Integration compatibility is reviewed for each deployment.

Integrations

Interface availability and supported protocols require product-specific confirmation.

Deployment

Scope, installation, security, acceptance criteria and training are agreed with the project team.

Use cases

U.S. dairies, food processors and wastewater facilities; global markets with dependable organic supply and digestate outlets.
