    METHANE AVOIDANCE VIA ZERO EFFLUENT DISCHARGE

    USING AQUAECO PLANT


    By
    Andrew Liew, (Aqua Ecotech Sdn. Bhd.)
    Numan Abdul Hadi, Rohaya Mohamed Halim, Andrew Yap, Zulkifli Ab. Rahman (MPOB)
    MPOB BIOGAS PLANT DEVELOPMENT DIRECTIVE

    Primary objective:
    Prevent Biogas to the
    atmosphere.
    Either thru trapping after
    its production or prevent
    it from being produced
    BIOGAS PLANT DEVELOPMENT

    MSPO/RSPO
    Need to comply to this directive to be MSPO certified by Jan 2020.
    From now until Dec 2019 not required yet.

    Until now only biogas trapping plant is on offer.


    Methane Avoidance Facility

    In collaboration with MPOB


    provide an option for mills to achieve
    MPOB Methane Avoidance
    Evaporation
    = Zero Effluent Discharge
    = No Anaerobic ponds
    = No Biogas production
    = Methane Avoidance
    Methane Avoidance Facility

    How is this Methane Avoidance Facility achieved?


    • In 2 stages
    AquaEco Plant
    AquaEco-SRORS System – Solid Removal Oil Recovery System,
    Consist of a filtration and separation system which separates Raw
    Sludge into oil, suspended solids, and water (with dissolved solids, a
    clear brownish solution).

    AquaEco-ZEDS System – Zero Effluent Discharge System


    is a combination of several evaporation technology to recovery water
    for mill use and to provide zero effluent discharge to mill
    aaa

    After AquaEco-SRORS

    AquaEco-SRORS recovers Oil and remove Suspended Solids to produce a clear filtrate with
    reduce COD/BOD to be sent to effluent ponds … or sent to evaporation system.
    Methane Avoidance Facility

    Stage 1: AquaEco-SRORS
    • SRORS separates raw sludge into – suspended solids, oil and water
    • Suspended solids is removed as decanter cake
    • Oil is recovered from the light phase in mill’s vertical clarifier
    • Water with dissolved solids, a clear filtrate, with ~30% COD/BOD of
    raw sludge is discharged from the system.

    Raw sludge Decanter Cake Light Phase Filtrate


    aa

    AquaEco-SRORS is
    installed within the Oil
    Room in the Mill.

    … and the oil


    recovered would be
    Oil Room Quality.

    Stage 1: AquaEco-SRORS

    • Stop the problem before it becomes a problem in the pond to solved.


    • A revenue generating system
    • SRORS is a very versatile system. It is modular.
    • Can be designed to process all raw sludge together or separately –
    DHP, SC & EFBL, regardless of volume.
    Methane Avoidance Facility

    AQUAECO-SRORS

    • Mill of similar capacity can have different SRORS capacity due to


    variation in raw sludge volume.
    • Sets the foundation for evaporation

    Carbon Footprint is
    negligible

    Water Footprint
    reduced by 70% Zero
    Recycle Clean Discharge
    In collaboration with MPOB Water
    for Mill Use Evaporator
    Methane Avoidance Facility

    PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY

    Stage 2: AquaEco-ZEDS

    Mills can opts for this system


    • To recover oil to increase OER and to generate revenue
    • Payback period ~6 years
    • Contribute to EPP4 (OER) & EPP5 (Biogas) of NKEA
    Mill with water quality and quantity problems
    • Extend reservoir from 3-4 mths to 12 months.
    Mills that need to pay for water – source or power

    In collaboration with MPOB


    Methane Avoidance Facility

    Stage 2: AquaEco-ZEDS
    PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY

     Steam from Back Pressure Vessel is used to evaporate the filtrate


     Uses a combination of evaporator technologies to save power
     Falling Thin Film
     Forced Circulation
     Rotary Scrapper
    Methane Avoidance Facility

    Stage 2: AquaEco-ZEDS
    PATENT PENDING TECHNOLOGY

    ZEDS – Evaporate to 94%


    Recover Water
     25% pure water
     76% clean water
     COD/BOD - 1,500/800ppm
     pH 3.5
     To water reservoir
     Replace 70% Mill’s water

    In collaboration with MPOB


    BIOGAS PLANT DEVELOPMENT

    EXISTING BIOGAS PLANT


    Raw Sludge BIOGAS DIGESTER TANKS Effluent Ponds Polishing Plant Discharge
    COD 80,000ppm COD 10,000-12,000ppm
    BIOGAS ISSUE ! ??? BOD <20ppm
    BOD 40,000ppm BOD 5,000-6,000ppm

    To meet MPOB's directive and complying with MSPO


    BIOGAS PLANT
    Raw Sludge BIOGAS DIGESTER TANKS Treatment Plant Discharge
    COD 10,000-12,000ppm ??? <4,000ppm COD <20ppm BOD
    BOD 5,000-6,000ppm <2,000ppm BOD

    • Supernatant COD 8,000-12,000ppm still need treatment to be brought


    down to below 4,000ppm.
    BIOGAS PLANT DEVELOPMENT

    Biogas Trapping

    • Problem for mill that are power independent, far from grid, or has no
    Fit In Tariff. It is only a cost factor.

    • A 60mt/hr mill biogas plant will cost RM8-10mil. (tanks) just for flaring.

    • Using cover pond may have lots of problem due to high SS going into
    pond.

    • Supernatant COD 8,000-12,000ppm still needs treatment to bring down


    to <4,000ppm before going to pond.
    Methane Avoidance Facility

    AquaEco Plant provides another option for mills now


     without biogas, or has no need for biogas plant
     Has sufficient power,
     Far from power grid
     Has no Fit In Tariff.
     Water quality and supply problem,
     Need to pay for water.

    Treasuring The Past Charting The Future


    Past:
    • During the last 100 years mills discharge effluent to ponds for
    treatment and biogas into the atmosphere.

    Future
    • AquaEco in collaboration with MPOB is offering the industry a
    direction to head towards Zero Effluent Discharge while
    meeting The Biogas Plant Development Directive via
    Methane Avoidance Facility and MSPO compliance, with a
    revenue generating technology.
