High rate reactor

A high rate anaerobic reactor is a wastewater treatment system that uses anaerobic biological processes to break down organic matter efficiently.
This type of reactor is designed to maximize the degradation rate of organic matter, using microorganisms that operate in the absence of oxygen.

High-rate reactors are especially suitable for treating effluents with a high organic load, converting them into biogas and biofertilizers.

Benefits of high rate anaerobic reactors

High efficiency in effluent treatment

High-rate reactors are highly efficient at breaking down the organic matter present in effluents, resulting in a significant reduction in the organic load. This is particularly advantageous for industries and municipalities that deal with large volumes of effluent with a high concentration of pollutants.

Biogas production

During the process of anaerobic decomposition, biogas is produced, consisting mainly of methane and carbon dioxide. The biogas generated can be captured and used as a renewable energy source, contributing to energy sustainability and reducing dependence on fossil fuels.

Sludge reduction

High-rate anaerobic reactors produce less sludge compared to traditional aerobic systems. This results in less need for sludge handling and disposal, reducing operating costs and environmental impacts.

Low operating costs

Due to the efficiency of the anaerobic process and lower sludge production, high rate reactors have lower operating costs compared to other treatment methods. In addition, the production of biogas can generate additional revenue by being used as energy.
