The aim of this work is to optimize biogas production from thermophilic dry anaerobic digestion (AD) the organic fraction municipal solid waste (OFMSW) by comparing various operational strategies reduce ammonia inhibition. A pilot-scale plug flow reactor (PFR) operated semi-continuously for 170 days. Three scenarios with different feedstock, namely solely OFMSW, OFMSW supplemented structural ma...

The availability of freshwater is one the biggest limitations and challenges food production, as an increasingly scarce overexploited resource in many parts world. Therefore, concept water footprint (WF) has gained increasing interest, same way that generation loss waste (FLW) production consumption become a social political concern. Along this line, number studies on WF sector currently all ov...

the cane alcohol vinasse assessment on the removal efficiency of a fixed biomass anaerobic reactor (fbar) was evaluated. crude vinasse was used to feed the reactor. the fbar was operated with organic load rate (olr) of 0.5, 1, 3 and 6 gcod/l/d. removal efficiencies of 85, 82, 75 and 66 per cent were observed respectively. the fba reactor presented an excellent removal of organic matter, however...

enzymatic extract preparation from pseudomonas aeruginosa km110 under accession no. hq730879 with lipase activity (0.3 u/ml), was used to perform enzymatic hydrolysis pretreatment of a synthetic dairy wastewater with 1000 mg/l total fat content. the pretreatment was optimized for 48 h hydrolysis time, at 45æ% c with 10% v/v enzymatic extract. the biological treatment of synthetic dairy wastewa...
