Maximising Biogas Yield: The Real Impact of Thermal Hydrolysis 

The Thermal Hydrolysis Process (THP) has long been recognised for its effectiveness in reducing sludge volume and improving biosolids quality. However, global shifts in energy policy are bringing its secondary benefits to the forefront, most notably, its ability to increase biogas production.

Driven by tightening energy efficiency targets, alongside evolving European regulations such as the revised Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive (UWWTD) and strong biomethane incentives in key markets, THP is emerging as a critical technology for energy optimisation in wastewater treatment.

This webinar will take a deeper look at how and under what conditions THP enhances biogas production, exploring its role in supporting wastewater treatment plants on the path towards energy neutrality.

Webinar Highlights

• The Mechanics of Yield: Understand how THP optimises biogas production compared to biological or enzymatic hydrolysis.
• Influential Variables: Learn the impact of sludge composition, volume, and local heat availability on energy ROI.
• Biogas Applications: Compare biogas use for heat, electricity, or biomethane injection.
• Case Studies: Review real-world applications where thermal hydrolysis significantly boosted gas yields (including WAS-only, and newer THP configurations).
• Biogas vs Sludge Reduction: Identify scenarios where biosolids volume reduction is the primary driver and biogas remains a secondary benefit due to local market conditions or infrastructure.
• Live Q&A with Dr Thierry Arnaud
