Influence of headspace pressure on methane production in Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) tests [PDF]
Waste Management, 2016 The biochemical methane potential test is the most commonly applied method to determine methane production from organic wastes. One of the parameters measured is the volume of biogas produced which can be determined manometrically by keeping the volume constant and measuring increases in pressure.

Biochemical methane potential of raw and pre-treated meat-processing wastes [PDF]
Bioresource Technology, 2013 Raw and pre-treated greaves and rinds, two meat-processing wastes, were assessed for biochemical methane potential (BMP). Combinations of temperature (25, 55, 70 and 120 °C), NaOH (0.3 g g(-1) waste volatile solids) and lipase from Candida rugosa (10 U g(-1) fat) were applied to promote wastes hydrolysis, and the effect on BMP was evaluated.
