TL;DR: In this paper, a new validation method was proposed and was then employed to re-examine previously published adsorption kinetic data to eliminate modeling biasness and eliminate model validation tools that cannot provide any kind of certainty on the validity of a model.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present an assessment of various pretreatment methods to optimize the anaerobic digestion of waste sludges with a focus on maximizing both biosolids reduction and biogas quality.

TL;DR: The concept has many positive aspects including positive aspects inclusive of be... as mentioned in this paper, and is envisioned by many experts to be one of the key future feedstocks for producing transportation fuels and other chemical products.

TL;DR: In this article, a computational approach for the exploration of the importance of biochemical mechanism parameters in anaerobic digestion models subjected to concentration variations of digestion feedstock components is presented, which consists of an algorithm integrating global sensitivity analysis (GSA), functional principal component analysis (FPCA), and rank-clustering techniques.

TL;DR: This work focused on the evaluation of the following key computational factors that may significantly influence the performance of the GSA-fPCA methodology: model parameter sampling range, model simulation period, basis functions system, and state of the system being modeled-batch or continuous activated sludge process.
