The Biogas Optimization Project

چکیده
The production of biogas has many advantages against other biomass based processes for production of energy or fuel. Biogas can be produced from any type of biomass whether it is a pure substrate or if it is a mix of materials like source-sorted municipal organic solid waste. The biogas process can handle substrate with different water content, from wet materials like Sewage sludge to dry material as straw. There are not many conversation processes that can handle this type of variation in the substrate.

The aim of this study was to obtain the optimal conditions for biogas production from anaerobic digestion of organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) using response surface methodology (RSM). The parameters studied were initial pH, substrate concentration and total organic carbon (TOC). The experimental results showed that the linear model terms of initial pH and substrate concentratio...
متن کاملAc 2012-3784: Anaerobic Digestor of Organic Waste Pro- Cessing: a Biomass Energy Production Project
Biogas is produced when organic matter is degraded in the absence of oxygen. The process, from degradation to gas production is called anaerobic digestion. The research in this study focuses on the feasibility of the design and implementation of an operational digester, the monitoring and control of the different biodegradation process variables and experiments to boost or maximize the gas prod...
