Anaerobic Chemistry Screening
Understanding your digester’s micronutrient content is the key to effective anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic micronutrient deficiencies can lead to poor methane production, poor volatile solids destruction, and an increase in hydrogen sulfide production. Our soluble and insoluble metals testing tests for 20 micronutrients and compares soluble and insoluble fractions of metals for a more accurate picture of metal bio-availability.
Comprehensive Analysis: This service includes a thorough examination of anaerobic chemical processes, enabling the identification of potential issues and optimization opportunities within anaerobic systems.
Customized Solutions: Based on the screening results, Aquafix offers tailored recommendations to enhance system performance, ensuring that solutions are specific to the unique needs of each client.
Expert Consultation: Clients receive access to Aquafix's team of experts who provide insights and guidance on implementing the recommended changes effectively.

Product Details
Understanding your digester’s micronutrient content is the key to having effective anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic micronutrient deficiencies can lead to poor methane production, as well as poor volatile solids destruction. Our soluble and insoluble metals testing tests for 19 micronutrients and compares soluble and insoluble fractions of metals for a more accurate picture of metal bioavailability. This allows for precise adjustments of micronutrient concentrations to maximize anaerobic efficiency.
Aquafix laboratories partners with those who run or operate anaerobic digesters of any kind through technical consulting and biological methane potential testing. Feel free to reach out to us for technical assistance at any time.
Micronutrients are categorized into four tiers based on their importance to anaerobic digestion and biogas production.
• Tier 1 – Essential micronutrients for acetoclastic methanogens and hydrogenotrophic methanogens. These
micronutrients directly impact biogas quantity and quality.
• Tier 2 – These are required micronutrients for general metabolic activity in microorganisms.
• Tier 3 – These micronutrients are important in niche cases, and generally good information to have.
• Tier 4 – These are important to know but are more important for proper functioning of the digester as opposed to the
metabolic processes of anaerobic bacteria.
