Biosafety Hazards: Lowering Exposure to Mist, Steam, Aerosols, and Foam!

Should you be wearing a hazmat suit to enter a digester facility? Mostly likely, the answer is no. While organic waste and wastewater personnel may have more exposure to pathogens, proper safety training, operating procedures, and PPE greatly lower your risk of falling ill.
This article looks at biosafety at digester sites and shares strategies for keeping operators safe from mist, steam, aerosols and foam.

Everything but the digester: The Extra Equipment Needed to Co-digest

As the need to divert organic waste from landfills grows, co-digestion is gaining traction. Municipalities can use the additional capacity in existing wastewater assets as a cost-effective strategy to preserve landfill capacity and mitigates greenhouse gas emissions. However, co-digestion is more complicated than simply feeding new material to digesters.

Is Your Digester Smaller Than You Think?

The most expensive part of an anaerobic digester are often the corrosion resistant tanks. Since digester volume is one of the most valuable assets of a plant because that determines how much you can feed – preserving and measuring digester volume might just be one of the most valuable methods for digester optimization.
