YOUR CHALLENGE:

Mitigating effluent treatment issues that create operational challenges


An anaerobic digester is a delicate ecological system, and you have to carefully manage that ecology to prevent chlorine reentry, minimize dissolved calcium, and reduce odor.

Mitigating effluent treatment issues that create operational challenges


An anaerobic digester is a delicate ecological system, and you have to carefully manage that ecology to prevent chlorine reentry, minimize dissolved calcium, and reduce odor.

DID YOU KNOW?

Today’s waste paper contains much more starch and ash than was typical in the past, along with higher degrees of water reuse.

SO WHAT?


You could add nutrients, seed sludge, and pellets to maintain your digester’s touchy ecosystem, but that can get expensive fast. Or you could rely on outside experts to help. But that kind of expertise is both costly and narrow—consultants rarely understand papermaking.

THE SOLUTION:

Improve anaerobic digester health

Your digester’s ecology must be perfectly balanced for it to perform effectively. With Buckman, you’ll keep your anaerobic digester healthy and prevent shutdowns with judicious MCA dosing and wet end stabilization.

Here’s what you need to do to make it happen:

Balance the biological activity on the paper machine

BUT HOW?

With Buckman’s continuous dosing methodology and technology, you’ll maintain dosing at the right levels all the time to keep your system balanced. You’ll reduce upsets and overloading to enhance the overall effectiveness of the Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP)—leading to a higher quality of water returning to the machine, more effective odor control, and improved methane production.

Minimize scale buildup in your reactor and pellets

BUT HOW?

With Buckman’s novel calcium stabilization application—which is continuously monitored by experts trained in the linkages between the paper machine and the ETP—you’ll prevent your anaerobic digester from becoming a bottleneck by reducing the need to shut down to clean up scale in the digester. This means you’ll keep the ETP at a steady running state to its design and maximize plant uptime.
