Evaluating production and utilisation pathways of a coupled Anaerobic Digestion (AD) and Gasification/Pyrolysis system using Life Cycle Analysis (LCA).
(Corresponding) Curry R., Cromie T., Somerville G.
Topic:
Life cycle analysis (lca)
Life Cycle Analysis modelling has been applied to an operational Anaerobic Digestion (AD) plant, (utilising Cattle Slurry/Grass Silage), currently producing biogas for electricity and heat production, with digestate going to land-spreading. The aim of the research was to evaluate the environmental...Read more
Anaerobic digestion of long-chain fatty acids (oleic, palmitic, stearic) with whey protein as the emulsifier

Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
Long chain fatty acids are suitable for biogas production, however, they are often responsible for process inhibition, due to their high toxicity even at low concentrations. In this study, anaerobic co-digestion of whey protein emulsified with oleic, palmitic or stearic acid were examined in...Read more

Methane Production and Waste Stabilization in Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Food Waste, Biosolids and Used Cooking Oil
Ematong E., (Corresponding) Rollon A.
Topic:
Food waste
Restaurants, food processing industries and café kitchen generate significant amounts of food waste (FW) and waste cooking oil. Septage treatment also generates large amount of biosolids. This study explores the application of anaerobic process, which generates methane, a renewable energy resource...Read more
Anaerobic co-digestion of poultry manure and used cooking oil for enhanced biogas production
(Corresponding) Eftaxias A., Gkalimanis P., Koskinari M., Koumara A., Diamantis V., (Corresponding) Aivasidis A.
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
