Vertical agitator for digestion and methanization tank
MIXEL

An agitator installed in a digestion tank suspends sludge and avoids the formation of a floating film. That film could prevent biogas from rising to the top of the tank.

Agitator for digestion and methanization of sludge

Sludge coming from waste water plants is full of methane - also called biogas.

Sludge is transformed - through digestion or methanization - in order to:
- reduce its volume around 30% to 40%
- purify and deodorize them.

Methanization takes place in a heated tank (digestion or methanization tank) where an agitator rotates to separate methane from sludge.

MIXEL has designed a new agitator for equipping those tanks:
- agitation shaft up to 20 meters
- hydraulic seal
- guiding turret
MIXEL has equipped more than 5000 m³ digestion tanks with agitators, as well in France than in Morocco or in Algeria.
