Abstract

For the optimization of biogas production in wastewater treatment plants often organic residues are added into the fermentation process. These residues may contain solid impurities such as glass, sand or metal particles. The advantage of an increased biogas yield is compensated by the disadvantage of increased erosion on the plant components caused by the impurities. For the removal of particles a modified hydrocyclone was investigated in previous studies in laboratory scale. Based on these results, hydrocyclones at industrial scales were installed and evaluated in a wastewater treatment plant. The present paper shows the optimum operational parameters for hydrocyclones with a separated impurity mass of 115 kg/d (average) and describes the potential of hydrocyclones as an add-on installation for the present application.
