Effect of biogas sparging on the performance of bio-hydrogen reactor over a long-term operation

چکیده
This study aimed to enhance hydrogen production from sugarcane syrup by biogas sparging. Two-stage continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) and upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor were used to produce hydrogen and methane, respectively. Biogas produced from the UASB was used to sparge into the CSTR. Results indicated that sparging with biogas increased the hydrogen production rate (HPR) by 35% (from 17.1 to 23.1 L/L.d) resulted from a reduction in the hydrogen partial pressure. A fluctuation of HPR was observed during a long term monitoring because CO2 in the sparging gas and carbon source in the feedstock were consumed by Enterobacter sp. to produce succinic acid without hydrogen production. Mixed gas released from the CSTR after the sparging can be considered as bio-hythane (H2+CH4). In addition, a continuous sparging biogas into CSTR release a partial pressure in the headspace of the methane reactor. In consequent, the methane production rate is increased.

Laboratory pilot scale study for H2S removal from biogas in an anoxic biotrickling filter.
The purpose of this laboratory pilot scale study at the Wastewater Technology Centre (WTC), Environment Canada, Burlington, ON was to investigate the anaerobic biological removal of H2S from biogas under real-time operating conditions. Biogas produced in a 538 litre pilot anaerobic digester was continuously fed into a 12 litre biotrickling filter containing plastic fibres as packing bed media. ...
متن کاملPossibilities of anaerobic fermentation of food waste on municipal wastewater treatment plants
In presented work, long-term operation of a laboratory anaerobic reactor processing food waste is discussed. Food waste is potentially well available municipal bio waste with light biodegradability and with year-long production mostly in big cities. About 200 days of laboratory work were focused on characterization of tested food waste quality as well as on feasibility of biogas production from...
