Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Screened dairy manure, pressure-sterilized animal by-products, and cheese whey were co-digested in a Plug Flow Reactor (PFR) over a period of 150 days. The mixture was characterized by TCOD = 70±8 g/L, SCOD = 26±6 g/L, NH4-N = 1.5±0.3 g/L, TSS = 20±5 g/L, VSS = 18±6 g/L, TS = 33±5 g/L, VS = 26±2 g/...Read more

Topic:
Biowaste
Aim of this study was to evaluate the anaerobic co-digestion of diluted poultry manure (DPM) and used cooking oil (UCO). Mixtures of DPM with different UCO dosages (1 to 6% v/v) were prepared using a high-shear emulsifier and digested in batch anaerobic reactors. Increasing the UCO dosage resulted...Read more
