ANAMET^TM means Anaerobic Methane Production and is a Microbiological Process that utilizes anaerobic microbiology to treat wastewater with High Concentrations of Organic Material in a single anaerobic biological step. The major part of organic impurities in wastewater is converted into biogas a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide.
The great advantage of this technique is that it provides a usable product and consumes little energy and chemical aids. The biogas formed contains 50-85 % methane, depending on the composition of the wastewater, and constitutes a source of energy at large-scale facilities corresponding to several tons of oil per day.
As a result, a very high total treatment effect is achieved up to 98 % BOD7 removal. Subsequent combination with aerobic treatment provides levels of up to 99,9 % BOD7 removal.
Anaerobic degradation of biological sludge and other organic sludge is also a technological area in which TEI has acquired considerable experience through its installations of digesters at municipal sewage treatment plants.
ANAMET^TM is the method of anaerobic treatment most commonly used throughout the world. With the great number of reference facilities constructed, it has been demonstrated to be a well-proven and reliable technique with low maintenance costs.
