About the Solution:

Complete mix anaerobic digester, with external pump agitation, supported membrane roof, and external tube-in-shell heat exchangers. Designed for affordability of construction and operation, Daritech digesters can be built for the lowest cost per cow in the industry. In-house PLC control system allows for operation from a PC or smartphone, with minimal onsite personnel.

With lower costs of construction and operations, projects can cash flow with lower revenue requirements. If nutrient recovery is the end goal, and the costs of electrical generation and interconnection are eliminated, Daritech digesters can affordably integrate with downstream nutrient capture operations.
