BioCrack - Cell Lysing System

The BioCrack is a state-of-the art high voltage cell lysing system that prepares the sludge for maximized bio-gas yield and reduces solids content in sludge. The overall system uses mechanical maceration combined with an electrokinetic process that produces a liquid with the highest potential for making biogas and reducing solids compared to conventional slurry handling and reduction methods. The BioCrack provides the bacteria easier access to the nutrients in the bio-suspension. A high voltage field is generated by the electrokinetic disintegration process within the module. Exposure to the field degrades and breaks the cell walls of the organic matter. As a result, the nutrients within the cells are released to the fermenting bacteria. The result: increased gas yield, better utilization of the substrates and less residual solids to dispose of.
