The most important initial issue when considering the application of anaerobic digestion systems is the feedstock to the process. [55] Almost any organic material can be processed with anaerobic digestion; [ 56 ] however, if biogas production is the aim, the level of putrescibility is the key factor in its successful application. [ 57 ]
Comparison of common AD digester technology types. The following is a partial list of types of anaerobic digesters.These processes and systems harness anaerobic digestion for purposes such as treatment of biowaste, animal manure, sewage and biogas generation. [1]
Anaerobic cellular respiration and fermentation generate ATP in very different ways, and the terms should not be treated as synonyms. Cellular respiration (both aerobic and anaerobic) uses highly reduced chemical compounds such as NADH and FADH 2 (for example produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle) to establish an electrochemical gradient (often a proton gradient) across a membrane.
One method for treating dairy wastewater is using anaerobic biofilm reactors. The biofilm grows on a support material which can be made of seashell, natural stones, charcoal, and plastic materials, amongst other sources. These anaerobic filters, however, can be clogged due to the high fat content of dairy wastewater. To combat the accumulation ...
The purpose of industrial biogas production is the collection of biomethane, usually for fuel. Industrial biogas is produced either; As landfill gas (LFG), which is produced by the decomposition of biodegradable waste inside a landfill due to chemical reactions and microbes, or; As digested gas, produced inside an anaerobic digester.
[35] [36] Denitrification processes are also used in the treatment of industrial wastewater. [37] Many denitrifying bioreactor types and designs are available commercially for the industrial applications, including Electro-Biochemical Reactors (EBRs), membrane bioreactors (MBRs), and moving bed bioreactors (MBBRs).
First, the wastewater enters the anaerobic bioreactor unit, where the organic load goes through the anaerobic process to be transformed into biogas. Subsequently, the remaining liquid, which still has small amounts of solids, goes into the membrane unit, to separate the remaining, smaller solid particles from the anaerobically treated wastewater.
The internal circulation reactor (IC reactor) is a form of anaerobic digester. It is primarily designed to treat wastewater. The IC reactor is an evolution of the UASB and EGSB digestion systems. The digester typically produces biogas with a high concentration methane (c80%). In essence the IC to improve digestion rates and gas yields.
