Sparta WWTP
LOCATION: United States
The City of Sparta operates a wastewater treatment plant serving around 10,000 residents and several industrial contributors. To improve biogas production and reduce maintenance issues, the plant upgraded its digester mixing with the Landia GasMix system.
Poor mixing from the existing air-based system had led to debris buildup, reduced digester efficiency, and costly maintenance that required tank drainage. Landia GasMix was installed as an external mixing solution, using a chopper pump and venturi nozzles to deliver full-tank mixing with all mechanical components located outside the digesters.
The upgrade resulted in a 25 % increase in biogas production, more stable digester temperatures during winter, reduced downtime, and improved digestate quality for agricultural reuse.
• Plant type: Municipal WWTP with industrial influent Digesters:

1,264 m³
Secondary 693 m³
Key benefit
Results:
• +25 % biogas yield through improved breakdown of volatile solids
• Stable digester temperatures, even during cold Wisconsin winters
• Lower maintenance and downtime, with all
Full-tank mixing with no internal mechanical components mechanical components accessible outside the tanks
• Improved digestate quality, reused locally as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer
• Reduced energy costs, driven by higher and more consistent biogas production
Better Mixing. Higher Biogas Yield.
Nigg Wastewater Treatment Works
LOCATION: Scotland
Nigg Wastewater Treatment Works, operated by Scottish Water, has become a leading site for biogas production from sewage sludge.
To improve efficiency and energy recovery, the facility upgraded its thermal hydrolysis process and installed a Landia digester mixing system.
The new system provides reliable mixing of the two 4,000 m³ digesters while using significantly less energy than conventional mixing methods.
Together with the process upgrade, the improved mixing has helped optimise sludge digestion and increase biogas production, turning the site into a strong producer of renewable energy.

Say goodbye to poor mixing.
LOCATION: Denmark
After the failure of a top-mounted mixer at the Damhusaaen wastewater treatment plant, BIOFOS – Copenhagen’s leading utility company – needed a reliable replacement for one of the plant’s digester tanks.
The existing mixer required extensive upgrading, which would have caused downtime and increased safety risks.
Instead, BIOFOS chose the Landia GasMix system, an externally mounted solution that recirculates biogas and sludge to ensure efficient mixing without internal mechanical components.
The system was installed on a full tank using the Hot Tap Drilling method, eliminating the need to empty the digester and minimizing operational disruption.
Results:
• Short installation time compared to alternative solutions
• Full operation achieved after 14 days – compared to up to 4 months
• Total installation costs significantly lower than a 1:1 replacement
• Screenings effectively reduced by the cutting system, improving downstream handling
• Stable operation with 100 % uptime for nearly 3 years
• Plant type: Municipal WWTP

One Upgrade. Big Results.
Gigablok
WWTP
LOCATION: Poland
To improve efficiency and reduce operating costs, the plant needed to replace its outdated digester mixing system, which had led to insufficient mixing and unstable process conditions.
Gigablok therefore upgraded to a Landia GasMix system, where all mechanical components are located outside the digestion chamber, eliminating the risk of internal mechanical failures. The installation was completed without emptying the chambers, minimizing both costs and operational downtime.
Results:
• More stable fermentation process
• Improved sludge decomposition
• Reduced risk of process disruptions
• Lower installation impact
When mixing finally works.
In February 2026, Landia successfully finalized a mixing system upgrade project at another wastewater treatment plant in Poland. The facility Dąbrowa Górnicza operates three anaerobic tanks, each 16.75 m height and 1,757 m³.
One of the digesters had begun showing signs of reduced process efficiency due to inadequate mixing. The existing mixing equipment had become outdated, resulting in poor circulation and process instability.

Digesters: Digester
To address this issue, the customer decided to install a Landia GasMix system in the affected tank. The system was commissioned and operational within a short timeframe.
Already within the first month of operation, the plant reported significantly improved mixing performance and overall process stability. The results have been sufficiently positive that the customer is now considering upgrading the mixing systems in the two remaining anaerobic tanks as well.
Simplicity at Low Power Demand.
LOCATION: Australia
The digester is equipped with a single Landia GasMix mixer with an installed motor power of 18.5 kW.
The system operates intermittently (on/off), providing reliable mixing and circulation of the digester contents.
Actual power consumption during operation is approximately 7-8 kWh.

Radegast WWTP
LOCATION: Germany
In cooperation with Landia, ReTech Resources Technology has installed an external sludge recirculation system in Germany.
By placing all mechanical components outside the digester, maintenance becomes safer and easier, while equipment is protected from corrosion and wear.
The system improves process stability and energy efficiency, supported by modern sensors for precise monitoring and control.
In addition, ReTech Resources Technology has developed a separator for hair, fibres and microplastics.
This patented unit is installed upstream of the digester, removing inorganic materials before the sludge enters the tank.
The result is better use of digester volume, fewer operational disturbances, and increased biogas production.
Results:
• Complete tank mixing without dead zones
• Minimized foam formation and sediment build-up
• Reduced internal power consumption
• Robust and stable process performance
