Abstract:
An induced sludge bed anaerobic reactor system that includes at least two stages of bioreactor processing, a first-stage feeding system, a second-stage feeding system, a pH balancing system, an effluent recirculation system, a gas management system, and a controller. In addition, any given stage of reactor processing may be comprised of a plurality of reactors that are configured to operate in parallel with each other.

Claim (Index 1):
A multi-stage anaerobic bioreactor processing system comprising:\n a first-stage feeding system that is configured to mix at least substrate and water resulting in a substrate mixture; at least one first-stage anaerobic bioreactor that comprises a substrate inlet and an effluent outlet, where the first-stage substrate inlet is coupled to the first-stage feeding system which is further configured to feed the substrate mixture into the at least one first-stage anaerobic bioreactor which is configured to process the substrate mixture via first anaerobic digestion resulting in first-stage effluent; a second-stage feeding system coupled to the effluent outlet of the at least one first-stage anaerobic bioreactor; and at least one second-stage anaerobic bioreactor that comprises a substrate inlet and an effluent outlet, where the substrate inlet of the second-stage anaerobic bioreactor is coupled to the effluent outlet of the first-stage anaerobic bioreactor via the second-stage feeding system which is further configured to feed the first-stage effluent into the at least one second-stage anaerobic bioreactor which is configured to process the first-stage effluent via second anaerobic digestion resulting in second-stage effluent.
