Biosolids

Biosolids, also referred to as treated sludge, is a term used by the waste water industry to denote the byproduct of domestic and commercial sewage and wastewater treatment.

Monsal are committed to delivering high end technology and sustainable solutions for the water sector, including advanced products for sludge processing, advanced anaerobic digestion and biogas technology for municipal sludge treatment.

Monsal’s specialist skills, depth of knowledge, and extensive experience are recognised throughout the industry, and ensure Monsal’s clients receive robust, high performance, and optimised solutions to meet their needs.

Liquor Treatment

Monsal is a well established process and technology business operating in the environmental sector. It’s core business is the treatment of waste – biosolids and biowaste, and converting it into renewable energy and a nutrient rich product.

Our separation and advanced digestion technology ensures that we produce a high quality product, free from contaminants, pathogens and odour with a rich nutrient content.

Our products are rich in nutrients and can be used as a fertiliser or for land remediation purposes.  Products from Monsal digestion plants are used every day in agricultural and recycling operations.

Any liquid waste streams including those from dewatering operations can exhibit high concentrations of BOD and nutrients.  Monsal offer a range of specialist processes for treatment of digestate liquors for BOD, nitrogen and phosphorus. Treated liquors can be used on site or comply with relevant consents.  We have know how in biological processing, and our tailor made solutions can be delivered as technology packages, ranging from phosphorus removal to supply of advanced liquor treatment plants.

Monsal Biosolids Products

Monsal‘s Products are the core building blocks of Monsal’s Advanced Technology. They can be used alone, or as part of an integrated system.

They have an excellent track record, and are proven and reliable. Developed using Monsal’s extensive knowledge of sludge treatment and rheology, Monsal’s products are both effective and robust.

Monsal’s products are custom designed to suit the specific application and meet the clients’ needs. They are generally delivered as a turn-key project, and come with the full back up of Monsal’s experienced design office, process, mechanical, electrical and commissioning engineers. Monsal’s Business Operating System ensures its products are high quality, and meet the Quality, Health and Safety and Environmental demands of its external accreditation from design to commissioning, and post operation support.

Monsal’s Products for Biosolids include:

• Sludge Tank and Digester Mixing
• Concentric Tube and Steam Heat Exchangers
• Compressors for air and gas
• Autodesludging for sedimentation tanks

Anaerobic Digestion – Monsal

There are now over 200 operational digesters in the UK incorporating Monsal technology.

Anaerobic Digestion (AD) is the preferred stabilisation process for the treatment of wastewater sludges and organic wastes. The process provides volume and mass reduction and delivers valuable renewable energy with biogas production.

Anaerobic digestion is a naturally occurring biological process comprising the following key steps:

* Enzymic Hydrolysis – large molecules/polymers such as polysaccharides and proteins are converted to smaller compounds

* Acidogenesis – conversion of small compounds to Volatile Fatty Acids (VFA) by anaerobic digestion

* Methanogenesis – Volatile Fatty Acids are broken down by methanogenic bacteria to methane and CO2

Monsal’s Anaerobic Digestion Technology can be supplied as either equipment/systems packages for process units such as heating, mixing, pasteurisation and biogas handling plant, through to complete digestion projects. We provide a full suite of services and technology for new build or refurbishment of existing plants.

Monsal has particular expertise in the provision of advanced digestion technology including:

* handling and digestion of thicker sludges,

* high temperature pre-treatment processes,

* biological pre-treatment processes,

* biogas cleaning,

* CHP integration and optimisation,

* treatment of digestate liquors and

* production of high quality biosolids or residuals for recycling.

Pre-treatment reactors and digesters can be configured to meet Treated or Enhanced standards for wastewater sludges or fully comply with Category 3 ABPR for the treatment of organic waste.

Our highly skilled teams can advise on projects from conceptual design through construction, testing and commissioning. We can work with you to provide robust advanced anaerobic digestion infrastructure for your water or waste project.
