Anaerobic digestion is widely used as an important source of renewable energy. With the increasing number and capacity biogas plants also, adequate treatment technologies for whole digestate – residue from anaerobic are gaining attention. In this study state art processing analysed, currently schemes various technological processes involved evaluated. The combines data experiences existing large-scale facilities in Austria, Germany, Switzerland Italy, well know-how technology providers...
Acetate was added as an inducer for the PHA-synthesis pathway, not a carbon
Abstract Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) are a promising bio-based alternative to traditional plastics derived from petroleum. Cyanobacteria photosynthetic organisms that produce PHA CO 2 and sunlight, which can potentially reduce production costs environmental footprint in comparison heterotrophic bacteria cultures because (1) they utilize inorganic carbon sources for growth (2) do not require intensive aeration oxygenation. Moreover, supplementing precursors such as propionate, acetate,...
The interest in microalgae products has been increasing, and therefore the cultivation industry is growing steadily. To reduce environmental impact production costs arising from nutrients, research needs to find alternatives currently used artificial nutrients. Microalgae anaerobic effluents (more specifically, digestate) represents a promising strategy for increasing sustainability obtaining valuable products. However, digestate must be processed prior its use as nutrient source. Depending...
Anaerobic digestion offers a good opportunity to degrade residues from breweries biogas. To improve the anaerobic degradation process thermal pretreatment of brewers' spent grains (BSG) increase rate and biogas yield. Aim work is show influence BSG digestion. were pretreated at different temperature levels 100 200°C. The production thermally lies between 30 40% higher than for untreated reference. has significant on or gas yield, respectively. Up 160°C, yield rises. Temperatures over 160°C...
Stillage processing can require more than one third of the thermal energy demand a dry-grind bioethanol production plant. Therefore, for every stillage fraction occurring in potential recovery by anaerobic digestion (AD) was estimated. In case whole up to 128% process be provided, so even an energetically self-sufficient is possible. For wet cake 57%, thin 41%, syrup 40% and evaporation condensate 2.5%. Specific issues establishing AD fractions are evaluated detail; these high nitrogen...
Anaerobic acidification of pressed sugar beet pulp (PSBP) is a promising strategy for the transition towards circular economy. In this work, volatile fatty acids were produced by anaerobic PSBP and subsequently converted to mcl-polyhydroxyalkanoates. The results point mesophilic as superior thermophilic one. At same time, pH regulated at value 6.0 showed decisive advantage over both 7.0 lack regulation. Furthermore, conditions with hydraulic retention time (HRT) 10 days significantly...
