Chemical Solutions for Bıogas Waste Water
Biogas production from organic waste is gaining increasing importance as a sustainable energy source. These plants not only ensure waste disposal but also generate electricity, offering both environmental and economic benefits. However, efficient treatment of the liquid waste generated after biogas production is critical to the plant’s overall performance, long-term success, and environmental compliance. At Teget Kimya, we provide comprehensive, integrated chemical solutions tailored to the specific wastewater characteristics of biogas facilities.
Challenges of Biogas Wastewater and the Need for Treatment
The wastewater generated from biogas plants (digestate) is characterized by high organic load, nitrogen and phosphorus content, suspended solids, and foaming. It also poses risks such as pipeline scaling, membrane fouling, pH imbalance, and microbiological instability. These conditions call for targeted, optimized treatment strategies that go beyond conventional methods.
Teget Kimya’s Integrated Wastewater Treatment Approach
1. Coagulant and Flocculant Solutions
The high content of suspended solids and colloidal organic matter is addressed using our organic and inorganic coagulants. These destabilize particles, which are then aggregated into large, easily settled flocs with our tailored flocculants (polyelectrolytes). This improves settling, increases sludge dewatering efficiency, and enhances final effluent quality.
Cationic polymer selection is critically important for decanter performance. To determine the most suitable polymer, a laboratory-based decanter simulation is conducted based on the sludge’s ionic characteristics and the technical specifications of the decanter.
At Teget Kimya, we offer a wide range of polymers with high-volume stock availability, thanks to our strong partnership with the global market leader in polymer distribution.
2. Foam Control: Process Stability with Biocompatible Solutions
Foaming in biogas reactors and treatment units can cause operational inefficiencies and overflow. Teget Kimya’s organic-based, bacteria-friendly antifoams are designed to be fully compatible with MBR systems as well as NF, UF, and RO membranes. These solutions effectively suppress foam without disrupting microbial activity, ensuring smooth and stable plant operations.
3. Microbial Nutrients: Enhancing Biological Treatment
Efficient biological treatment depends on the health and nutrition of microorganisms. Our nutrient blends provide essential nitrogen, phosphorus, and trace elements, boosting biological activity and maximizing removal efficiency even under nutrient-deficient conditions.
4. Dispersants and Scale Inhibitors
Our organic dispersants prevent the accumulation of organic and inorganic solids on equipment surfaces, ensuring system cleanliness. In parallel, scale inhibitors control mineral scaling (such as calcium carbonate), extending the lifespan of pipes, tanks, and membranes.
5. pH Control with Acidic and Basic Chemicals
Maintaining ideal pH levels is essential for biological activity and optimal flocculation. We offer essential chemicals such as sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, Na-EDTA, and sodium hypochlorite, ensuring stable pH across all treatment stages and preventing system upset.
6. Membrane Antiscalants and Cleaners
Membrane technologies are increasingly used for high-quality water recovery. However, scaling and fouling can compromise performance. Our specialized antiscalants and membrane cleaners protect against deposits, reduce cleaning frequency, and keep membranes operating at peak efficiency.
7. Biocides: Microbiological Control
Uncontrolled microbial growth can lead to clogging, corrosion, and odor issues. Our oxidizing and non-oxidizing biocide formulations eliminate these risks, ensuring hygienic and reliable operation.
