Mechanical Components

Mechanical components for material transport and mixing.

Pump

Pumps are used to transfer substrate and digestate.

Mixer

Mixers ensure homogenization and heat distribution in the digester.

Troubleshooting

Pump Not Delivering

• Check pressure head and blockages.

Optimization Strategies

• Use intermittent mixing to save energy.

Best Practices

• Size pumps for 80-90% of nominal flow.

Sizing Guidelines

• Typical mixing power: 5-8 W/m³.
