Exelys™
Exelys
Energy efficient thermal hydrolysis process
Continuous Thermal Hydrolysis
Exelys is an innovative technology that represents the next generation of biosolids thermal hydrolysis. Thermal biosolids hydrolysis has been recognized as being one of the most effective ways to enhance biogas production and solids destruction in an anaerobic digestion system. Through its innovative design and continuous operational configuration, Exelys is a highly effective energy efficient technology available for thermal biosoilds hydrolysis. Due to the unique characteristics of the hydrolyzed biosolids product, Exelys is an ideal solution for significantly increasing the capacity of existing digestion systems. Exelys is the key to achieving the full potential of your renewable biosolids energy.
Continuous Thermal Hydrolysis
Features
High solids content sludge results in more efficient energy utilization
- Heating solids, not water
Continuous automated operation allows for optimal performance
- Effective asset utilization
Higher solids loading in the digester due to the hydrolysate's characteristics, increases capacity of existing digesters by up to 50%
- Cost effective expansion of digester capacity for the future
Heat recovery and recycling further improving energy efficiency
Simple and efficient maintenance and cleaning of components
- Decreased O&M costs
DLD™
Optimizing Biosolids Anaerobic Digestion
Digestion - Lysis - Digestion
DLD (Digestion - Lysis - Digestion) is an innovative process configuration designed to become the powerhouse of your wastewater treatment plant. The DLD optimizes the biosolids anaerobic digestion process, maximizing the production of renewable biogas energy while minimizing biosolids requiring disposal. At the core of the process is the Exelys continuous thermal hydrolysis technology - an energy efficient thermal hydrolysis. By integrating the Exelys technology, more renewable biogas energy is available for electricity generation. In a modern wastewater treatment plant where energy efficiency is vital, the increased biogas energy available from the DLD solution is enough to make the entire wastewater treatment process energy self-sufficient - decreasing costs and reducing carbon footprint.
Features
Optimized utilization of biosolids
- Maximized solids destruction - maximized biogas production
First digestion reduces loading on the thermal hydrolysis system
- Less biogas consumed - more available for other applications
Hard COD production minimized
- Carbohydrates and ammonia removed in first digestion/dewatering
Energy recovery and recycling is optimized
- Nothing is wasted
