Digester cleaning can help in environmental preservation

Author: P&H Senesac

The biosphere and environment preservation are a major cause for concern globally. Water scarcity and the shortage of renewable resources is a worrisome truth we face each day. Organic wastes that include left over food stuffs, animal faeces, sewage, inorganic and organic waste matter, commercial and residential residue, chemicals and other products, pollute clean water and we call it as sludge.

Reduction of collected sludge in lagoons and managing waste and waste water appropriately is a priority worldwide. While we work on environmental preservation we also need to concentrate on developing renewable and alternative fuel sources. Treating organic wastes with help of an anaerobic digester is the best way to get fertiliser and fuel out of sludgy matter.

Microorganisms are used in the digester pipes and decomposition of organic matter is carried out in these huge pipes without any oxygen. The sludge when worked on by microbes releases "fuel substitute" methane gas and solids that are rich in nutrients. These solids can be used as a fertiliser in the fields and the left over water can be utilised for irrigation. The gas released works as an alternative for fuel.

Clean water bodies rarely exist because there are a number of pollutants and sewage that are thrown into them. We can take the example of a lagoon. The lagoon water accumulates sludge and starts breeding contaminants and is thus declared unsafe for use and dangerous for human consumption. If by chance, it is consumed by the residents of a particular area they can fall dangerously sick and life threateningly ill.

Water species thrive and exist in different water bodies like seas, ponds, lagoons, marshes or sea grasses. The sludge build up because of collection of faecal matter, sewage, solids, and chemicals, organic and inorganic wastes can choke these innocent water species and they struggle to exist. The sludge has can be broken down into useful products in the digester. With regular use the digester starts to develop muck and its performance becomes sluggish. Regular digester cleaning has to be organised so that the working of the digester is efficient and it is cost effective and budget friendly in the long run.

The best way of environment preservation and conservation is using digester cleaning services for appropriate waste water treatment and dealing with solids collected in lagoons. Once solids start accumulating in the lagoons the area starts to stink and the live water colonies go under threat. The area needs to be dredged and cleaned with help of technologically advanced Digester Cleaning technology.

The natural pollutants and organic wastes in the wastewater are eaten away by the microorganisms and a nutrient rich thick biomass is recovered. The water left behind is used for irrigation and construction. The suspended particles are removed and the leftover liquid is ideal for reuse. The contaminated water has to be cleaned and dealt with appropriately or else it can be harmful for the environment.
