Anaerobic Digesters
Proven Biological Systems for Energy Recovery and Organic Load Reduction

Technology Overview

Anaerobic Digestion is a cost-effective and sustainable solution for treating high-strength wastewater while generating renewable energy. WOG Technologies Limited designs and implements a full range of anaerobic digesters, including low rate, upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) and high-rate systems. These technologies are ideal for industries that produce wastewater with high biochemical oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand.

By leveraging anaerobic microbial communities, these systems convert organic matter into biogas, primarily methane and carbon dioxide, which can be used for power generation and heating. Our digesters are engineered for energy efficiency, minimal sludge production and long-term process stability.

How it Works

In Anaerobic Digestion, microorganisms break down organic pollutants in the absence of oxygen. The process typically occurs in a closed reactor where wastewater is retained for microbial action under controlled temperature and hydraulic conditions. The biogas generated is collected and used on-site or conditioned for other energy applications.

Types of Anaerobic Digesters We Offer:

  • Low-rate digesters: Suitable for dilute wastewater with longer retention time
  • UASB reactors: Compact systems where wastewater flows upward through a dense sludge bed of anaerobic microbes

Technology Benefits

  • Reduces chemical oxygen demand (COD) by 70 to 90 percent and biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) by 65 to 85 percent, ensuring regulatory compliance
  • Converts organic waste into usable biogas, generating 20 to 25 cubic meters of biogas per ton of COD removed, enabling energy recovery
  • Minimizes sludge generation by up to 50% and reduces post-treatment requirements significantly
  • Operates with 20 to 30 percent lower energy input while maintaining stable microbial kinetics even with variable loads
  • Compatible with nutrient-rich and fluctuating wastewater streams, achieving continuous operation efficiency exceeding 95% uptime
  • SCADA-enabled for real-time monitoring, predictive control and early warning alerts that improve response times by 30%

Applications

  • Food and Beverage Industry: Effluent from dairy, brewing and meat processing facilities
  • Distilleries and Sugar Mills: Molasses-based and vinasse wastewater treatment
  • Pulp and Paper: High COD and fiber-rich waste streams
  • Textiles: Combined anaerobic-aerobic systems for high-load wastewater from dyeing processes
  • Pharmaceutical and Chemical: Pre-treatment for complex, degradable organic compounds
  • Municipal Wastewater: Sludge stabilization and energy recovery from sewage

FAQs

Biogas production depends on the nature of the wastewater. High COD effluents from distilleries and food industries can yield between 0.35 to 0.7 m3 of biogas per kilogram of COD removed.

Yes, UASB reactors are designed to buffer hydraulic and organic load fluctuations. Process stability is maintained through the formation of active granular sludge.

Anaerobic effluent typically requires aerobic polishing to meet discharge standards. Our solutions integrate aerobic treatment or membrane filtration where required.

Anaerobic systems perform best in mesophilic and thermophilic ranges. In colder climates, insulation and temperature control mechanisms are incorporated to ensure that microbial activity is maintained.

Digesters are fully enclosed and fitted with gas-tight covers. Biogas scrubbing and controlled venting ensure that odor and emissions are effectively managed.
