Anaerobic digestion (AD) has long been used to treat different types of organic wastes especially in the developed world. However, organic wastes are still more often considered as a waste instead of a resource in the developing world, which contributes to environmental pollution arising from their disposal. This study has been conducted at Bugolobi Sewage Treatment Plant (BSTP), where two orga...

Spent livestock bedding is a valuable resource for the production of green energy (methane) in rural areas. Comparison and evaluation batch anaerobic digestion co-digestion different mixtures goat straw (SGSB) cheese whey were carried out. Biochemical methane potential (BMP) tests 100% SGSB, 95% SGSB-5% whey, 90% SGSB-10% 85% SGSB-15% found to be 423 ± 7, 354 9, 371 2, 293 1, 274 2 mL CH4 g?1 V...

Grape cultivation and wine production has been in practice since 7000 BC ancient China. Today, top producing countries are France, Italy, Spain, including the United States. New York State is third largest state US, with over 28 million gallons produced 2017. Wine pomace, residue from making after pressing could be used for of electricity heat replacing fossil resources. One alternative route a...

Organic wastes, such as fats, oils, and grease (FOG), are good substrates for biogas production because of their high methane yield potential. FOG are hydrolyzed to glycerol and long-chain fatty acids(LCFA), and the degradation of LCFA takes place through the β-oxidation pathway which has been reported as the rate-limiting step of the whole anaerobic digestion process. This paper reviews the sc...

The anaerobic digestion and co-digestion with waste activated sludge of liquid pressed biowaste from kerbside collection was studied both in mesophilic and thermophilic conditions. The research focused on the aspects related to a comparison between mesophilic and thermophilic conditions, also considering the processes stability during “non steady state” conditions and in specific perturbation i...
