DVO Vortex - Two-Stage Linear Anaerobic Digester System
The DVO Two-Stage Linear Vortex™ anaerobic digester is a patented system for processing biowaste on farms, agribusinesses and commercial/industrial facilities. It greatly reduces odors, is cost-effective, scalable, operates automatically and requires low maintenance. No other digester design comes close to its biogas/renewable energy output and greenhouse gas emissions reductions. DVO changes valuable nutrients (NPK) such that they are readily usable by farmers for fertilizer—even on growing crops! Optional technologies (NR and PR) convert nitrogen and phosphorus into condensed and stable products—enabling the processing of unique waste streams, such as poultry manure and litter. DVO is the only digester that enjoys “Recognized” status by the independent agency Newtrient, LLC.
DVO linear vortex systems are in the general category of “mixed plug flow digesters,” but our design is unlike any other. Through a non-mechanical process, the digester creates a vortex in the waste as it moves through the digester. This ensures biowaste entering the digester is thoroughly mixed and processed to extract the maximum amount of biogas and elevate the quality of byproducts.
Every ounce of waste entering a DVO digester has a guaranteed retention time. This means waste is not under processed or over processed. It’s processed for the optimal amount of time to fully digest waste but no longer than that.
This feature is key to the efficiency and effectiveness of our system.
More biogas = more revenue
All waste is fully processed anaerobically.
Odor Control
Biodegradation is thorough, so the smell is removed and doesn’t come back.
Pathogen destruction
Waste is kept in the digester longer than the 12 to 14 days required to kill pathogens.
Environmental Benefits
Byproducts, like fertilizer, are transformed to an inorganic state and ready for use without fear of polluting.
Healthy Cows
Processed solids used for bedding are virtually pathogen free, helping with mastitis control.
