Advanced treatment process wastewater biogas suitable for wastewater with oils and fats

Description

Process that allows energy recovery of oils and fats in wastewater from food industries through advanced membrane reactors AnMBR.

Innovative Aspects

Direct treatment of wastewater with high content in fats and oils without coagulation-flocculation-flotation pretreatment for removal of fat. The lack of a physical-chemical pretreatment reduced the cost of coagulants and flocculants and sludge management flotation. According to the chemical composition of oils and fats have a high methanogenic potential, which is optimal energy use

Applicability of the Technology

Wastewater treatment with high content of oils and fats.
Utilization of biogas generated an improvement in production processes resulting in sustainable and more efficient process from the standpoint of energy
Saving cost of sludge management and procurement qualities gas close to the natural gas

Level of development

Prototype

Companies mainly the food industry where it is necessary to treat their wastewater with high content of oils and fats

Generation storage and with hydrogen consumption electrolytic with renewable resources: wind and photovoltaic, operating simultaneously, with a power supply into around 70 KW

The world's energy needs, indispensable for the maintenance of life on our planet, are leading to significant wear of nonrenewable energy sources. This problem is partly solved by the energy supply clean, safe and unhindered

The control system comprises a hydrogen feed of 70 kW, formed by a subsystem comprising two wind turbines of 20 kW power unit, a fixed photovoltaic system of 20 kW and the other with two-axis solar tracking of 10 kW. This feeds an electrolyzer system of 18 kW alkaline with a production capacity of 3.5 N m 3 h through a power conditioner. A storage system using commercial bottles decouples the production of consumption. Finally, the hydrogen produced is consumed in a fuel cell 5 kW PEM. A regulation and control system allows automated performance of the plant. The research group working on the optimization of wind farms or photovoltaic hydrogen generation and maintains operational headquarters described to experimentally validate the optimization algorithms

Innovative Aspects

It aims to optimize the generation of clean hydrogen with wind farms, photovoltaic or combined, using perceptron and validation procedures by the central hydrogen installed.

Current and potential domain of application

At first it can be used for any business that already has or will have renewable energy sources, to store the surplus in the form of high purity hydrogen, either as fuel or for other uses.
