How does presence of microplastics impact biogas production?

Resnik N., (Corresponding) Žgajnar Gotvajn A., Griessler Bulc T.

Topic:

Microplastics in water treatment: fate, toxicity assessment and removal technologies

The aim of this study was to evaluate the inhibition on the biogas production caused by microplastics (MPs). Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are receptors of MP. After wastewater treating, more than 90% of MP could be retained in the sludge. Anaerobic digestion of the excess sludge can help...Read more

Quantification of feedstocks and outputs for a regional Bioeconomy using the AD Biorefinery concept.

(Corresponding) Curry R., Blaine L.

Topic:

Circular economy and industrial symbiosis

Greenhouse gas emissions (GHG’s) from agriculture in Northern Ireland account for over 27% of regional emissions, as opposed to 7% for the UK overall, leaving the region with challenges in meeting climate abatement targets. The development of a sustainable regional Bioeconomy has been identified as...Read more

Use of Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) Assays for predicting biogas production from co-digestion of food waste and compostable bags

Kattamis S., (Corresponding) Maragkaki A., Papastefanakis N., Sampathianakis I., Lolos T., Tsobanidis C., Velonia K., Manios T.

Topic:

Solid waste management

Biodegradable plastics have been introduced to the market to substitute petro-based plastics to alleviate plastic pollution. Biochemical methane potential tests were carried out on food wastes (FW), with or without pre-treatment, compostable bag and a mixture of food waste and compostable bag (CB)...Read more

Biogas upgrade via ex-situ technologies

Spyridonidis A., Vasiliadou I., (Corresponding) Stamatelatou K.

Topic:

Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy

The biological upgrade of biogas to biomethane (CH4 > 90%) is a popular emerging technology, since the produced CO2 is not removed but is converted to biomethane using hydrogen (H2). The initial aim of the present study is the acclimatization of a microbial population derived from a typical...Read more

Planar Mixing Tool for Enhanced Performance of Covered Anaerobic Pond Systems

(Corresponding) Brück F., Velten H., Pingsmann M., Meyer D., Weigand H., Linnenberg C., Theilen U.

Topic:

New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture

Pond systems are the simplest and most widespread technology for the treatment of high-strength wastewater containing biodegradable suspended solids. When covered, they offer significant advantages such as odour control, intensification of the decomposition process, and the potential to capture...Read more
