Good Morning,
We have two anaerobic digesters each containing 6748 m3 of 5% dry solids sludge. The specification calls for the full contents to be turned over in one hour. The retention time is 20 days.
If the requirement is to feed 250 m3 of fresh sludge at 15 deg C in to the digester which is 35 deg C, for a period of 10 minutes every hour, is this likely to cause thermal shock to the bacteria?
Regards
John
