Journal ArticleDOI

Utilisation of biomass for the supply of energy carriers

TL;DR: This mini-review of several fermentation processes is discussed, starting with the most advanced process of ethanol production, followed by methane production, an established process for waste water purification which is gaining more attention because of the inherent energy production.
Journal ArticleDOI

The role of sludge retention time in the hydrolysis and acidification of lipids, carbohydrates and proteins during digestion of primary sludge in CSTR systems

TL;DR: The effect of the sludge retention time (SRT) between 3 and 15 days, on hydrolysis, acidification and methanogenesis of domestic sewage was researched by simulating aSludge bed segment of an upflow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) system as a completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR).
Journal ArticleDOI

New perspectives in anaerobic digestion.

TL;DR: The present "state-of-the-art" paper, which has been written by members of the AD management committee, reflects the latest achievements and sets future lines for further development.

wastes and energy crops: a proposed protocol for batch assays

TL;DR: This paper presents some guidelines for biomethane potential assays prepared by the Task Group for the Anaerobic Biodegradation, Activity and Inhibition Assays of the Anaerobic Digestion Specialist Group of the International Water Association, the first step for the definition of a standard protocol.
