AGIRA™

Agira™ consists of a hydrolysis tank and an aerobic bioreactor:

• The hydrolysis tank pre-treats the greasy matters in presence of lime before entering the bioreactor.
• The aerobic tank includes a patented foam cleaner and a dynamic mixer. This configuration enhances the biomass temperature (40-50°C) allowing high elimination efficiency in a reduced reactor footprint and low energy consumption.

The elimination efficiency of lipids reaches 70-90% depending on the grease quality and concentration. Agira™ has a compact design and is perfectly adapted to degrade high loaded greasy effluents.

Operation and Performances
