In this study, the effectiveness of a novel system an anaerobic fluidized membrane bioreactor (AnFMBR) in treating wastewater was demonstrated and results were validated by testing duplicate systems parallel under similar operating conditions. system, outer loop performs as reactor while inner serves AnFMBR with granular activated carbon (GAC) used carrier for fouling control. The GAC fluidizat...

Biogas technology has been used quite extensively to generate renewable energy from organic wastes while also recycling nutrients in the wastes and reducing harmful emissions. However, the challenges of low biogas yield from recalcitrant and inhibitory solid wastes together with high construction and operation costs of bioreactors have impeded optimal performance through this process. Additiona...

Harvesting valuable bioproducts from various renewable feedstocks is necessary for the critical development of a sustainable bioeconomy. Anaerobic digestion is a well-established technology for the conversion of wastewater and solid feedstocks to energy with the additional potential for production of process intermediates of high market values (e.g., carboxylates). In recent years, first-genera...

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is a major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system that has significant beneficial effect on human health. Traditional microbial GABA synthesis requires continuous oxygen supplementation. Here, new anaerobic platform for production was established with engineered C. tyrobutyricum ATCC 25755, which considered an ideal microbial-cell fact...

Abstract The geochemical signatures of a 12-year-old experimental bioreactor at California landfill are used to identify elemental concentrations and ratios that characterize the relate it age state technology deposited waste. was constructed sealed with synthetic liner during 2001–2002 operated monitored as an anaerobic digester enhance methane production. In 2013, sampled trace element extrac...
