Anaerobic Digestion of Food Waste, Brewery Waste, and Agricultural Residues in an Off-Grid Continuous Reactor

چکیده

Small-scale anaerobic digestion (AD) can be an effective organic waste management system that also provides energy for small businesses and rural communities. This study measured fuel production from digestions of single mixed feedstocks using unheated, 2 m3 digester operated continuously in a temperate climate over three years. Using local food waste, brewery grease agricultural residues, this determined small-scale AD co-digestions were almost always higher yielding than during psychrophilic operation seasonal temperature transitions. Agricultural residues Miscanthus x giganteus had the greatest impact on biomethane co-digestion (4.7-fold greater average biogas %CH4), while mesophilic alone produced most (0.76 gCH4 gVS?1 d?1). Biogas transition to was temporarily maintained at levels similar digestions, particularly co-digestions, but quality declined these shifts. Full-time small-scale, unheated systems could feasible climates if feedstock is intentionally amended stabilize carbon content.

Anaerobic digestion of autoclaved and untreated food waste.

Anaerobic digestion of autoclaved (160°C, 6.2 bar) and untreated source segregated food waste (FW) was compared over 473 days in semi-continuously fed mesophilic reactors with trace elements supplementation, at organic loading rates (OLRs) of 2, 3, 4 and 6 kg volatile solids(VS)/m(3)d. Methane yields at all OLR were 5-10% higher for untreated FW (maximum 0.483±0.013 m(3) CH4/kg VS at 3 kg VS/m(...

Anaerobic Digestion of Vegetable Waste

Fruit and vegetable wastes are produced in large quantities in Iran, and constitute a source of nuisance in municipal landfills. The objective of this study was to optimize the applications of anaerobic digestion for the treatment of municipal organic wastes. We studied the effect of organic loading rates on anaerobic digestion of vegetable wastes. The complete-mix, pilot-scale digester with wo...
