CONT

The high-rate digestion process differs from the conventional single-stage process in that the solids-loading rate is much greater ... Because there is no supernatant separation in the high-rate digester, and the total solids are reduced by 45 to 50 percent and given off as gas, the digested sludge is about half as concentrated as the raw sludge feed.
