During anaerobic sewage treatment, it is estimated that 30% to 40% of the total CH4 produced is dissolved in the liquid phase, being ultimately released to the atmosphere if control measures are not used. In addition, part of the hydrogen sulfide (H2 S) generated in the process also remains dissolved in the sewage, being easily released and causing routine problems with bad odors and corrosion. Different technologies have been explored in the literature for the removal of dissolved gases, as detailed in this Collection of Technical Notes (TN). This TN aims to present the use of vacuum degasification reactors for recovery of CH4 and H2 S dissolved in effluents from anaerobically treated municipal wastewater. The following content is presented: (i) fundamentals of the process; (ii) dimensioning example; (iii) a case study of a system at pilot scale.
Das DePrex-Verfahren ermöglicht eine kontrollierte Erfassung von gelösten Gasen aus Abwässern und Schlämmen mittels einer kombinierten Unterdruckentgasung. Außerdem begünstigt das Verfahren eine gezielte MAP-Ausfällung.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
