PDAC Gerät für aerobischen Reaktor, computergesteuert (PC)

The objective of the Computer Controlled Aerobic Digester, "PDAC", unit is to study and understand aerobic digestion processes and to analyze their main parameters.

The unit consists of a 20 l capacity reactor vessel with a tubular membrane made of plastic inside to separate the sludge. Wastewater to be treated enters the vessels pumped by a peristaltic pump.

This unit includes a computer controlled thermostatic bath to heat water up to 60 ºC. That water is driven by a pump through a coil inside the reactor. A suitable temperature for the microorganisms population employed in the aerobic digestion will be obtained.

The greater amount of oxygen available in the environment in the aerobic digestion, the quicker the bacteria involved in the process will grow. Therefore, a compressor introduces a specific air flow into the reactor through a diffusion plate.

The aerobic reactor includes a temperature, pH and dissolved oxygen sensor to monitor the digestion.

This Computer Controlled Unit is supplied with the EDIBON Computer Control System (SCADA), and includes: The unit itself + a Control Interface Box + a Data Acquisition Board + Computer Control, Data Acquisition and Data Management Software Packages, for controlling the process and all parameters involved in the process.
