Abstract
Production of biogas utilizing agricultural wastes is one of the most demanding technologies for generating energy in sustainable manner considering environmental concerns. However, though the agricultural wastes are available in abundance, the technologies used for the production [...]Abstract
We study a simplified model of the Anaerobic Digestion Model Number One (ADM1) that represents Anaerobic Digestion for the biogas production and wastewater treatment. This system is modeled by systems of nonlinear differential equations. First, we implemented the Dimensional Analysis [...]
Abstract
A pilot anaerobic reactor was installed to remove the organic load of wastewater from dairy industry. It uses a bacterial inoculum previously acclimated to the substrate. It was disposed horizontally and filled with pieces of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), from plastic bottles. [...]Abstract
Anaerobic digestion is a renewable energy production process based on the fermentation of biodegradable biomass. The industrial digesters are usually made of cementitious materials. However, the microbial production of several aggressive compounds (CO2, NH4 + and volatile fatty acids) [...]
