Comparison of mesophilic and thermophilic dry anaerobic digestion of OFMSW: Kinetic analysis

Study of different ratios of primary and waste activated sludges to enhance the methane yield

“…The SELR values were always below the value of 0.4 d −1 during the experimental assays, so it can be said that the capacity of the methanogens was never exceeded, pointing out the possibility of increasing the feeding load without the risk of digester instability or failure, which is in accordance with previous studies (Fernandez‐Rodríguez et al ; Gou et al ).…”

Combined anaerobic/aerobic treatment of OFMSW: Performance evaluation using mass balances

“…Although the conversion rate of organic matter into biogas is highly dependent on several parameters, including feedstock composition [27], reactor temperature [28] and configuration [29], García-Heras [30] highlighted that a specific biogas production ranging between 60% and 80% of the theoretical one can be achieved within 10 days. The retention time of waste in the premix tank of the anaerobic process under investigation is, therefore, enough to start and firstly develop biogas production.…”

Monitoring transitory profiles of leachate humic substances in landfill aeration reactors in mesophilic and thermophilic conditions

“…On one hand, microbiological activity and substrate degradation rate could be enhanced by the increased temperature [18]. On the other hand, bioprocess at higher temperature has been reported to be more susceptible to inhibition and environment change [19].…”
