THP is a high-pressure steam pre-treatment for anaerobic digestion of municipal and industrial sludge and bio-waste. Applying THP technology results in doubled digester loading, increased biogas production, and a pathogen-free and stabilized biosolids product with increased cake dewaterability. Reduced viscosity from thermal hydrolysis (making the sludge more fluid). â Digesters can be fed with a sludge concentration of 8-12% dry solids (DS), twice that of a conventional digester. â Increased speed of digestion.
