This work aimed at integrating the anaerobic digestion of food waste (FW) with photosynthetic biogas upgrading pilot scale in order to obtain a high quality biomethane and nutrient-laden algal biomass as main byproducts from FW treatment. The performance 100 L digester treating integrated via raw digestate injection 1.2 m2 outdoors high-rate pond (HRAP) was evaluated. Biogas production averaged 790 ± 89 mL g VSin-1 (68 8 d-1) (35 °C, 1 bar) loading rate 0.86 VS L-1 d-1 steady state chemical...
Anaerobic digestion can biotransform the biodegradable fraction of sewage sludge into biogas, while symbiotic action algal-bacterial consortia remove both CO2 and H2S from biogas nutrients digestate. A 100 L anaerobic digester operated at 20 days retention time coupled with a 180 high-rate algal pond (HRAP) engineered to upgrade treat liquid pilot was optimized along four operational stages: (I) operation greenhouse during winter; (II) without greenhouse; (III) process supplementation...
BACKGROUND The hard cell wall of some microalgae hampers efficient methane production when using those substrates. present study investigated the effect two groups biocatalysts, namely carbohydrases and proteases, applied to Chlorella vulgaris Scenedesmus sp. for hydrolysis prior anaerobic digestion. RESULTS subjected protease activity resulted in higher organic matter solubilisation (47%) than carbohydrase treated samples (25–29%). Out tested, maximum carbohydrate was reached by applying...
This study investigated the influence of addition carbon-coated zero-valent nanoparticles to enhance CO2 removal efficiency, contributing improved microalgae growth and biogas upgrading. NPs were studied in different formats - raw suspension (Raw-NPs) dried format (D-NPs)-, along with liquid fraction (SP) on performance Chlorella sorokiniana for upgrading domestic wastewater treatment. The supplementation SP at increasing concentrations during resulted higher levels inhibition. enhanced but...
