چکیده

A common way to store digestate from anaerobic digesters is in open air lagoons. The aim of this study was to investigate whether cooling of digestate before transfer to the storage prevents methane production. Furthermore, if methanogenesis is not prevented, to determine the potential maximum methane slip from an open air lagoon, supplied with heat exchanged digestate from a mesophilic co-digestion plant such as Linköping biogas plant. Results indicate that methane production is not terminated by cooling and that a high methane production can occur in open air lagoons if the conditions are advantageous. Furthermore, the results suggest that it can be worthwhile, from both an economical and an environmental point, to replace open air lagoons with closed post-digesting units. At 25 C, the methane slip from an open air lagoon could reach as high as 2.6% of the total methane production of a biogas plant, even when the volume of the open air lagoon is only one third of the digesters volume. The combination of low additional cost of production, with significant decrease in release of green house gases to the atmosphere, makes the implementation of post-digestion units at larger biogas plants attractive.

A 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...

Biogas Production by Co-Digestion of Goat Manure with Three Crop Residues

Goat manure (GM) is an excellent raw material for anaerobic digestion because of its high total nitrogen content and fermentation stability. Several comparative assays were conducted on the anaerobic co-digestion of GM with three crop residues (CRs), namely, wheat straw (WS), corn stalks (CS) and rice straw (RS), under different mixing ratios. All digesters were implemented simultaneously under...
