ATAD<br />
A - Autothermal<br />
T – Thermophilic<br />
Self-heating!! Exothermic reaction.<br />
High temperature above 131°F. No outside heat<br />
source is used.<br />
A - Aerobic<br />
D - Digestion<br />
Oxic conditions (this is key), high mixing intensity<br />
and aeration. Independent control of mixing and<br />
aeration is imperative.<br />
Biodegradation of volatile solids microorganisms<br />
degrade to CO 2<br />
, H 2<br />
O, ammonia + heat.<br />
… high-temperatures provide very high biokinetics!!<br />
We call our ATAD <strong>ThermAer</strong>
