Fractality in pH time series of continuous anaerobic bioreactors for tequila vinasses treatment

open access: yesChemical Engineering Science, 2014
pH measurements taken from anaerobic digestion (AD) processes show fluctuations with an apparent random behavior that is usually associated to noise. However, it is well-known that the AD process is carried out on the basis of electron interchange from donors to acceptors.

High removal of chemical and biochemical oxygen demand from tequila vinasses by using physicochemical and biological methods

Environmental Technology (United Kingdom), 2014
The goal of this research is to find a more effective treatment for tequila vinasses (TVs) with potential industrial application in order to comply with the Mexican environmental regulations. TVs are characterized by their high content of solids, high values of biochemical oxygen demand (BODs), chemical oxygen demand (COD), low pH and intense colour ...

Converting tequila vinasse diluted with tequila process water into microalgae-yeast flocs and dischargeable effluent

Bioresource Technology, 2020
During tequila production from agave, wastewaters are produced, such as dark-colored vinasse. To add value to this vinasse, microalgae-yeast biomass was produced on vinasse diluted with tequila process water (first rinsing water of agave syrup production).

Treatment of vinasse from tequila production using polyglutamic acid

Journal of Environmental Management, 2012
Vinasse, the wastewater from ethanol distillation, is characterised by high levels of organic and inorganic matter, high exit process temperature (ca. 90°C) and low pH (3.0-4.5). In this study, the treatment of tequila vinasse was achieved by a flocculation-coagulation process using poly-γ-glutamic acid (PGA).

Mixotrophic growth regime as a strategy to develop microalgal bioprocess from nutrimental composition of tequila vinasses

Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering, 2021
The selection of a suitable growth regime can increase the physiological performance of microalgae and improve bioprocess based on these microorganisms from agro-industrial residues. Thus, this study assessed the biotechnology capacity-biomass production, biochemical composition, and nutrient uptake-from tequila vinasses (TVs) as the nutrient source of

Anaerobic treatment of tequila vinasses under seasonal operating conditions: Start-up, normal operation and restart-up after a long stop and starvation period

open access: yesBioresource Technology, 2014
This study examines the performance of an anaerobic fixed-film bioreactor under seasonal operating conditions prevailing in medium and small size Tequila factories: start-up, normal operation and particularly, during the restart-up after a long stop and ...

Effect of Lactate Fermentation Type on the Biochemical Methane Potential of Tequila Vinasse

BioEnergy Research, 2020
In a two-stage anaerobic digestion (AD) process approach, the relation between the type of fermentation that occurs during the acidogenic stage and methane production potential from tequila vinasse (TV) remains unexplored. This study aimed to investigate the effect of lactate fermentation type on the biochemical methane potential (BMP) of TV.

Kinetic modelling of a dark fermentation process using tequila vinasses as substrate for hydrogen production

Memorias del Congreso Nacional de Control Automático, 2022
In this work, a search methods strategy based on optimization algorithms is proposed for the kinetic modelling of a dark fermentation process using tequila stillage substrate for hydrogen production. Kinetic model based on the ADM1 approach is fitted to the experimental data to evaluate the dynamic behaviour of the metabolites produced and consumed ...

New insights into microbial interactions and putative competitive mechanisms during the hydrogen production from tequila vinasses

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2022
This study aimed to characterize the prokaryotic community and putative microbial interactions involved in hydrogen (H2) production during the dark fermentation (DF) process, applying principal components analysis (PCA) to correlate changes in operational, physicochemical, and biological variables.

Utilization of recovered solids from tequila industry vinasse as fodder feed

Bioresource Technology, 1996
Abstract Digestibility and sheep feeding trials were conducted to determine the efficacy of using fermented solids (FS) collected by centrifugation from tequila distillery wastewater. In the digestibility trial, 12 growing Pelibuey crossbred male sheep weighing 30 kg on average were randomly assigned to one of the following four dietary treatments ...
