Arkea® & Sludge Management
Arkea® Sludge Yield Reduction
Arkea® Ohio Plant Operational Impact
- When project began, plant operated all four available sludge digesters.
- Due to impact of Arkea®, only two sludge digesters currently in use.
- This is convincing confirmation of reduced sludge yield.
Arkea® “Off-On-Off” Yield Work
- 19 MGD plant
- Management wanted to alternately turn on (inside red boxes) Arkea® substrate treatment and then turn it off for several cycles.
- Followed solids inventory
- When Arkea® substrate were “on”, yield dropped. When “off”, the yield climbed.
