The anaerobic digestion (AD) has become an alternative source and attractive treatment method. Up-flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) digester been designed to treat the Recycled paper mill wastewater (RPMW) in Morocco. This provides a research on of RPMW using UASB technology. was following characterization feed rate, with volume 70 liters. reactor treating operated for 130 days minimal overload problems. experiments were carried out mesophilic temperature (37 °C) at different organic...
The treatment of food waste (FW) is an important challenge in developed and undeveloped countries due to the rapid disintegration this waste. Hence biogas technology used produce energy reduce volume This has disadvantages terms sensitivity nutritional imbalance low biodegradability. In case, several pretreatments have been applied improve production such as thermal pretreatment (TP). study investigated effects TP on physico-chemical properties methane yield (MY) improvement. With effect...
Mesophilic anaerobic digestion is a treatment that widely applied for sewage sludge management but has several disadvantages such as low methane yield, poor biodegradability and nutrient imbalance. In this paper, we propose orange peel waste an easily biodegradable co-substrate to improve the viability of process. Sewage were mixed at proportion 70:30 (wet weight), respectively. The stability was maintained within correct parameters throughout process, while yield coefficient 165 L/kg...
Solar biogas system production offers the possibility to simultaneously produce heat, electricity and treat waste products as well reduce greenhouse gas emissions in industrial sector. In this paper, we report on development of an experimental solar prototype valorize biomass generated by Moroccan paper industry order its carbon footprint. This presents integrated solution environmental energy problem companies that generate wet biomass. The current new consists a using liquid biomass,...
Anaerobic digestion of the date palm empty fruit bunch is a promising technology for both solid waste management and biogas production.The lignocellulosic that takes more time degradation has low biodegradability, thus pretreatment needed to improve anaerobic biodegradation.In this study, substrate was pretreated with different ratios alkali-NaOH: 6, 18 30% (w/w) (ratio weight NaOH / Volatile Solid) 10 min at room temperature evaluate effect high alkali concentration on methane potential...
Methanization is a technology that involves complex biological reactions and it the subject of several scientific studies. The paper aims to evaluate effect combined mechanical ultrasonic pretreatment (CMUP) on anaerobic digestion (AD) household organic waste fraction in Morocco (HOWF), using continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at mesophilic conditions. This article presents compares results obtained by operating two experiments lab scale reactors with (MP) CMUP. experiment MP was...
Abstract Methane yield is one of the important factors that indicate anaerobic digestion (AD) process efficiency. The AD an available treatment recycled pulp and paper sludge (RPPS) wastewater (RPPW). This protects environment produces methane, which considered as renewable energy. In this study, RPPW RPPS were studied using 1L completely stirred tank reactor (CSTR) at laboratory scale with mesophilic conditions. However, a kinetic study was carried out four models in order to compare adjust...
This paper investigates the influence of thermal pretreatment on kinetic parameters based four models: Modified Gompertz, transference and logistic functions first order equation.The modeling was applied experimental results previous study producing methane from anaerobic digestion Recycled Pulp Paper Sludge (RPPS) under mesophilic conditions.We observed that improve considerably improved mainly production rate lag phase.Indeed, it can be noted μ increases significantly a value 4.72 to 16.27...
The aim of this research was to design a solar heated system enhance the anaerobic digestion treatment at mesophilic condition for UASB (Up flow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) digester system, energy absorbed by flat plate collectors transferred heat storage tanks, which continuously supplied an reactor with water maximum temperature 37°C. For purpose, we have developed two models 70 l bio-digester coupled thermal (low temperature) using TRNSYS (Transient System Simulation) platform. performances...
Palm waste is generated in the oasis and poorly valued by burning random way. This can be recovered many methods according to their physicochemical characterization. The organic values of EFB could allow us use anaerobic digestion (AD). elementary compositions are used estimate heating value for thermochemical conversion (TC). study aim explore energetic potential (Ep) using AD TC. Ep results 10.87 39.1 GWh/y, respectively.
