Control Panel- Bio-Methanator skid (Under Construction).

  The ICM/Phoenix Bio-Methanator System utilizes a modular unit operation consisting of multiple Bio-tower reactors, which are operated in parallel from a common recycle and control system.  Modules are pre-fabricated and delivered to the site for erection and piping for clustered parallel operation.

 For waste water flows exceeding 1.2 MGD and 24,000 ppd of COD, site-specific Bio-towers are designed and built on-site.  In this case, internals are fabricated from fiberglass, and inserted during Bio-reactor erection.

    Bio-towers are linked to a proprietary Phoenix Bio-Systems De-Carbonator, which serves to reduce carbon dioxide in recycle flow to the Bio-towers and to achieve high COD reduction rates with low hydraulic retention times.  For high sulfur or sulfate waste water streams, the de-carbonator is linked to a gas scrubber for the removal of H₂S from the de-carbonator off-gas.  Use of the de-carbonator always results in greater COD reduction and increased system stability.

  System effluent is removed from the de-carbonator, as this point in the recycle loop represents the lowest COD and the clearest water, with off-odors removed.  

     ICM/Phoenix Bio-Methanators reduce wastewater loading efficiently and cost effectively in process plants. Bio-Methanators can be pre-fabricated and skid mounted in ICM's shop for rapid installation and start-up on site.
