• Spiral Brush Screen Filter Patented high-throughput continuous screening technology with self-cleaning spiral brush that handles high and variable total suspended solids (25,000+ mg/L) without backwashing, achieving up to 99%+ recovery. Offered in Model 850 (up to 100 gpm) and Model 1000 (up to 250 gpm) configurations with multiplex skid options and 15-100 micron screens, deployed at industrial and agricultural wastewater sites.
• Solids Removal & Dewatering Unit (SRDU) Trademarked solids flocculation, flotation, and dewatering system combining a Solids Flocculation and Flotation System with a Multi-Disk Press Dewatering System. Produces cleaner effluent than conventional DAF (typically <0.1% TSS), drier sludge (8-13% drier), with 20-80% less chemical consumption than DAF, and produces approximately 20% TS wet cake.
• Stainless Steel Microfiltration / Ultrafiltration Cross-flow filtration systems using porous stainless-steel tubular membranes (3/4" ID) with internal titanium dioxide coating, welded and bolted in ASME code-stamped pressure vessels. Media grades of 0.5, 0.25, and 0.025 microns are available in 5', 10', and 20' lengths, with membranes lasting 10-15 years in challenging high-solids applications such as dairy manure and distillery stillage.
• Polymeric Ultrafiltration (pUF) PVDF membrane ultrafiltration for high-strength, high-solids wastewater using outside-in crossflow operation. Requires 2-10x less crossflow velocity than tubular membranes, with typical electrical consumption of 2.5-3.0 kWh per 1,000 gallons of permeate versus 25-50 kWh for tubular systems. Available in DO-PVDF-8 and DO-PVDF-10 system configurations with high membrane packing density (385 ft² in a 10"x10' module) and full back-wash capability.
• Superfiltration Membrane Systems Patented membrane systems positioned between ultrafiltration and nanofiltration with nominal MWCO of 1k Daltons, achieving over 99% rejection of molecules greater than 1kDa. Immune to irreversible organic fouling from fats, oils, and proteins, chlorine-tolerant for fast and economical cleaning, with restored performance of 80%+ from short water flushes and 99%+ with chemical cleaning, and an expected lifespan of 2-3 years.
• Reverse Osmosis Systems (HPRO and LPRO) Reverse osmosis systems available in two configurations: High Pressure Reverse Osmosis (HPRO) for high permeate recovery from concentrated streams with low energy use, and Low Pressure Reverse Osmosis (LPRO) for polishing water to achieve very high quality with reduced operational costs. Combined with proprietary Sub-Induction Time Reverse Osmosis (SIT-RO) for fouling-resistant operation on industrial and agricultural wastewaters.
• Nutrient Concentration & Water Reclamation (NCWR) System Trademarked integrated four-stage system combining coarse solids removal, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, and UV disinfection. Processes raw wastewaters, manures, and digestates to recover more than 70% of total volume as clean reusable water while concentrating nutrients 3-5 times into a liquid fertilizer co-product. Deployed at large-scale sites such as BC Organics, producing over 400,000 gallons of clean water per day.
• In-House Pilot Testing Service PhD-led liquid separation testing at the Farmington Hills, Michigan facility for sample volumes from 5 to 1,000 gallons. Covers vibratory screen, spiral brush filter, microfiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, superfiltration, and PVDF ultrafiltration testing with comprehensive wet chemistry analyses to validate technology and inform full-scale design.
• Onsite Pilot Testing and Equipment Rental Service One-week onsite trials run by skilled operators, plus extended rental options for vibratory screens (5-10 GPM), spiral brush filters (15-30 GPM), UF Rental 01 (225-1500 GPD), and UF Rental 02 (792-5280 GPD). Includes onsite training and remote support for data collection and analysis, enabling customers to validate technology on their own waste streams.
• Process Consulting and Engineering Services Engineering consulting covering process design (Process Flow Diagrams, Mass Balances, Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams), facility design (general arrangement drawings, piping diagrams, full 3D layouts), pilot testing services, offtaker consulting, and onsite supervision during installation and commissioning.
• Comprehensive Service Plan (CSP) Recurring full-service maintenance plan covering replacement parts (screens, brushes, seals, o-rings), UF/RO membrane service, cleaning chemicals, quarterly site visits, 24/7 phone support with less than 24-hour technician response, and DOMetrics dashboard access. Offered as a monthly subscription that covers all operating costs except electricity.
• Pay-Per-Gallon Plan Flexible equipment leasing and usage-based operating plan in which customers pay per gallon of liquid processed while Digested Organics owns and operates the equipment. Ideal for short-term projects, pilot scaling, or customers who prefer not to purchase equipment outright.
