BIOFUEL PRODUCTION FROM ORGANIC WASTE

The book presents a detailed analysis of hydrogen and methane production via anaerobic digestion of synthetic municipal wastewater in a coupled reactor system, which includes an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor and a packed bed reactor. It explores the impact of varying organic loads, specifically through glucose addition, on hydrogen production while considering factors like hydraulic retention time, temperature, and pH. The study highlights the efficiency of sludge stabilization and the correlation between organic load and biogas production, emphasizing the role of spore-forming bacteria in optimizing hydrogen yield.
