PAD®-G Applications & Benefits
The patented PAD®-G process (Pre-thickened Aerobic Digestion
with Gravity Thickener) provides integrated operation of a
gravity sludge thickener and two or more aerobic digesters.
By operating these units as a combined system, improved treatment
is achieved and the following benefits obtained:
- Improved pathogen
destruction at reduced solids retention time
- Increased
solids concentration in gravity thickener
- Continuous automated
thickening of the aerobic digesters
- Enhanced pH and temperature
control
- Operational reliability using Enviroquip’s
non-clogging medium-bubble aeration systems

The PAD®-G process offers of a sludge handling system
that produces a stabilized, homogeneous Class B sludge effectively,
reliably, and with minimal operator involvement.
- Influent flows intoPre-Mix
- After aeration, Pre-Mix flows into Gravity Thickener
- Scum
is airlifted into In-Loop Digester
- Thickened sludge is air-lifted into In-Loop Digester
