BHU ALMAWATECH - Model GMR - Gas Mixed Reactor

The Gas Mixed Reactor (GMR) by ALMAWATECH GmbH is engineered for superior anaerobic degradation of organic compounds, particularly those with high organic load and limited salt concentration. This system transforms organic materials into methane and carbon dioxide, optimizing biogas production. The GMR excels in treating effluents like those from sugarbeet washing, which contain high levels of degradable organic substances and calcium salts. A critical feature of the GMR is its ability to prevent calcium carbonate crystallization on reactor equipment, such as stirrer blades, enhancing operational efficiency. The reactor achieves optimal mixing by compressing biogas and recirculating it to the reactor’s center, ensuring continuous and reliable performance even during intensive sugar campaigns. Technologically advanced and compact, the GMR is available in both enamel and stainless steel configurations, utilizing piping made from standard 1.4571 stainless steel. It handles volume flows between 50 and 250 m³/h, with loading rates typically ranging from 9 to 12 kg COD per cubic meter per day. With a proven process established in the sugar industry and multiple successful installations, the GMR represents a robust and efficient solution for industrial biogas production.
