FeBio: R&D of novel 75 kWel AD plant for difficult agricultural residues: horse manure, straw and green waste

(Corresponding) Porzig M., Wern B., Pertagnol J.
Topic: 
New solutions for a better and sustainable agriculture
Substrates for biogas production will be provided mainly by residues in future. Without a complex and expensive pre-treatment, solid residues with dry matter (DM) content higher than 30%, e.g. horse manure, husk, grass or straw can only be used in small quantities in a wet anaerobic digestion (AD)...Read more

Sampling Strategies of Microplastic in Stormwater Runoff from Separate Drainage Systems

(Corresponding) Abusafia A., Scheid C., Meurer M., Altmann K., Braun U., Bannick C., Dittmer U., Steinmetz H.
Topic: 
Emerging pollutants
The occurrence of microplastic in terrestrial and water environments can be traced back to anthropogenic activities. Urban drainage systems play a role in transporting microplastic from urban sources into receiving waters or soils. The analysis (including sampling, sample preparation and detection...Read more
