Digester

The Digester is an IV tier multiblock for breaking down raw ore into rare earth solutions and chloride concentrates. The Digester is primarily used in the Monazite Line and Bastnasite Line alongside a Dissolution Tank which dilutes the rare earth solutions with water or nitric acid. The Digester is also integral for producing nano resins of rare-earth lanthanides such as Holmium and Lutetium. Only one or two Digesters are really necessary since its perfect overclocks make it scale very well.

Construction

The Digester has no tiered components. Buses/hatches may replace any casing anywhere on the structure. The heating coils can be any tier and have no effect on the operation of the machine. The interior of the structure is entirely mandatory air so nothing can be inside the machine. Multi-amp and laser energy hatches are not supported, but there can be multiple regular energy hatches for overclocking. Use the Multiblock Structure Hologram Projector to visualize/build the structure with subchannel "coil" to specify the tier of the heating coils.

Structure

  • Controller: Front bottom center
  • 40-54 Robust Tungstensteel Machine Casing
  • 16 Heat Proof Machine Casing
  • 16 Heating Coil
  • 9 Clean Stainless Steel Machine Casing
  • 1+ Energy Hatch: Any tungstensteel casing
  • 1 Maintenance Hatch: Any tungstensteel casing
  • 1 Muffler Hatch: Any tungstensteel casing
  • 1+ Input Bus/Hatch: Any tungstensteel casing
  • 1+ Output Bus/Hatch: Any tungstensteel casing
  • Mandatory Air: Interior and top of the structure

Wallsharing

Digesters may wallshare each of their sides to save on casings, heating coils, and buses/hatches. Although not very useful or practical in the processing lines, sharing could help for manufacturing nano resin. No recipe uses more than 1A of power so it is possible to share one energy hatch between two machines.

Usage

The only unique thing about using the Digester is that it runs perfect overclocks. Recipes in NEI specify a minimum heat capacity for the heating coils, but none are higher than cupronickel and there is no heating bonus. The Digester is primarily needed in rare earth processing lines in IV, including the Monazite Line and Bastnasite Line. The produced rare earth solutions are then passed to the Dissolution Tank for further processing.

The Digester is also used for rare earth chloride concentrates in UV. The rare earth chloride concentrates are combined with an extracting nano resin in a Large Chemical Reactor to produce filled extracting nano resin and chlorinated rare earth concentrate. The chlorinated rare earth concentrate can then be processed up to 3 more times with any extracting nano resin to yield the corresponding filled extracting nano resin before expiring. The following lists all the available nano resins and the alternate method(s) of acquiring them. Visit the pages on meteors and the Space Elevator for more information on those specifically.
