Mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge with glycerine: Effect of solids retention time [PDF]
The main objective of this paper is to examine the effect of the increase in organic loading rates (OLRs), by reducing the solids retention time (SRT) from 20 d to 5 d, in single-phase mesophilic anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge with glycerine ...

Experimental and Numerical Analysis of the Co-Digestion Process of Municipal Sludge with Fruit and Vegetable Waste [PDF]
Anaerobic digestion is the most commonly applied process for waste sludge treatment, which enables obtaining energy from the produced biogas. Biogas produced by anaerobic co-digestion of sludge with various additives can be used as an alternative fuel ...

Anaerobic co-digestion of sewage sludge and molasses [PDF]
The efficiency of simultaneous digestion of sewage sludge and by-product of refining sugar beets (molasses) was investigated. The study was conducted for 28 days under mesophilic conditions. 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 2% and 3% (m/m) of molasses was added to the mixture of sludge.

Terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism is an “old school” reliable technique for swift microbial community screening in anaerobic digestion [PDF]
The microbial community in anaerobic digestion has been analysed through microbial fingerprinting techniques, such as terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (TRFLP), for decades.

A Review on the Fate of Nutrients and Enhancement of Energy Recovery from Rice Straw through Anaerobic Digestion [PDF]
Open field burning and tilling the rice straw (RS) back into the fields causes environmental threats by contributing to the increased greenhouse gas emissions. Energy and nutrient recovery from RS through anaerobic digestion (AD) is an effective solution

Improving the biomethane yield of Xyris capensis through pretreatment methods and co-digestion [PDF]
The most common substrates for the anaerobic digestion process that release biomethane, a renewable energy source, are lignocellulose materials. Total energy recovery from lignocellulose substrates is challenging due to their recalcitrant nature ...
