ThermAer ATAD System

An advanced 2nd Generation Autothermal Thermophilic Aerobic Digestion (ATAD) technology for the treatment of biosolids and other organic waste. This unique “liquid composting” process, developed by Thermal Process Systems (TPS), provides intense treatment of slurries and produces Class A odour free products with high agronomic value. With more than ten operating facilities in the US and two under design/construction in Canada, the ThermAer ATAD is a dynamic new technology in the market, and an attractive alternative to anaerobic digestion and traditional composting for many applications. WCI Environmental is an authorized distributor of TPS equipment.

Applications:

• Municipal biosolids
• Septage
• Industrial organic waste
• Municipal source separated organics
• Agricultural waste

Key Features & Benefits:

• Production of quality products* – US EPA Class A, free of pathogens and offensive odours, high agronomic value
• Superior volatile solids destruction (up to 65-70%) and improved dewatering characteristics
• Retrofitting of existing tanks – economical solution for increasing processing capacity and biosolids quality of existing infrastructure
• A solution for septage management
• Compact facility design that provides reliable, odour-free operations
• Advanced process control, automation and energy efficiency
• High quality filtrate from dewatering process

* WCI is making application to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency to have ThermAer ATAD products recognized as fertilizer

Services Options:

• Equipment supply
• Equipment supply and install
• Design-Build turnkey
• Operate
