چکیده
Co-digestion is a widely used protocol for biologically stabilizing wastewaters and waste solids that otherwise might be sent to alternative disposal sites such as landfills. The number of applications is growing, within both farm (Frear et al., 2009) and municipal digester (Wallis et al., 2008; Zupancic et al., 2008) applications. In many cases, one of the motivations for practicing co-digestion is to better exploit under-utilized digesters and to bring in added income to the facility through received tipping fees. Problems can occur, though, with co-digestion, particularly in regard to:

Utilization of Co-digestion of Local Brewery Wastes and Cattle Dung as a Potential Source of Biogas and Organic Fertilizer
Biogas production from co-digestion of local brewery waste (BW) and cow dung (CD) was study for value added to this solid waste. The objective of this research was to fine the optimum condition for maximum biogas production and also examined the effectiveness of the biogas residue (liquor from anaerobic digestion process) as a nitrogen source for the production of okro. The experiments were per...
متن کاملDevelopment of Artificial Neural Network Models for Biogas Production from Co-Digestion of Leachate and Pineapple Peel
The processes of anaerobic digestion and co-digestion are complicated and the development of computational models that are capable of simulation and prediction of anaerobic digester performances can assist in the operation of the anaerobic digestion processes and the optimization for methane production. The artificial neural network approach is considered to be an appropriate and uncomplicated ...
متن کاملA new kinetic model for biogas production from co-digestion by batch mode
Coming out from the growth kinetics, the Gompertz model has been developed and considered as the best one for simulating the biogas production from anaerobic digestion. However, the model has failed to describe the starting point of the process, and no-sense of lag phase constant has been pointed out. Thus, the goal of this study is to develop a new kinetic model of biogas production with meani...

Kinetic models which can express the behaviors of hydrolysis and biogas generation more precisely than the conventional models were developed. The developed models were evaluated based on the experimental data of six batch reactors. Anaerobic digestion test was co-digestion of food and vegetable waste with inoculating horse dung by 15% of the total wet weight, at the temperature of 37o</su...
