Can the seasonal variability affect the BMP of fruit and vegetable waste?

(Corresponding) Scotto di Perta E., Lamboglia R., Cesaro A., Frunzo L., Esposito G., Papirio S.
Topic: 
Food waste
Fruit and vegetable waste (FVW), largely produced in open markets, is characterized by highly putrescible materials, thus being a proper substrate for anaerobic digestion. This study investigated the effect of the seasonal variation of FVW, on the biochemical methane potential (BMP). To this end,...Read more

Anaerobic Digestion of Municipal Wastewater (MWW) in a Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR)

Zarkaliou A., Kougias C., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic: 
Wastewater treatment
The scope of this work is to study the treatment of municipal wastewater in a Periodic Anaerobic Baffled Reactor (PABR). PABR is an innovative, high-rate bioreactor, designed to operate under high organic loadings. Apart from the Hydraulic Retention Time (HRT) an important operational parameter is...Read more

The effect of HRT in the successful bioaugmentation of CSTRs working under ammonia toxicity

Tzenos C., Christou M., Kalamaras S., (Corresponding) Kotsopoulos T.
Topic: 
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
High levels of ammonia is a common inhibitory factor in anaerobic digestion (AD) resulting in low methane production and unbalance of the process. In the present study, the adjustment of the hydraulic retention time (HRT) and the bioaugmentation process (BP) are investigated to counter the negative...Read more
