Lipids are attractive substrates for anaerobic digestion due to their high methane production yield. However, high concentrations of lipids may cause problems in anaerobic processes. Typically, grease trap waste is ...

The objective of this paper is to develop a mathematical model for the synthesis of anaerobic digester networks based on the optimization of a superstructure that relies on a non-linear programming formulation. The proposed ...

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of different carbon sources and the carbon/nitrogen ratio (C/N) on the production and main composition of insoluble extracellular polymers (EPS) produced in an ...

Anaerobic digestion processes with biogas production are widely used for organic waste treatment with an emphasis on energy recovery. Some recent studies have demonstrated the influence of magnetism on microbiological ...

The increase of fish production worldwide results in a consequent increase of generated effluents by processing industries. Due to its composition, this type of wastewater requires particular treatment solutions. Several ...

In Brazil, a large amount of liquid wastewater generated during orange juice production has a significant negative impact on the citric industries. The treatment of this wastewater has been carried out in biological treatment ...

This paper evaluates technically and economically a miniSST (mini station of sewage treatment) by anaerobic-aerobic-anoxious process, associated to the utilization of biogas produced and utilization of treated sewage to ...

Thermophilic anaerobic digestion is a viable option for processing sugarcane vinasse that recovers energy in the form of methane. However, restarting real-scale vinasse-treating reactors, at the resumption of the sugarcane ...

Anaerobic digestion is an established process for the stabilization of organic matter and production of renewable energy that has a central role in sustainable development and circular economy. It is currently being used ...
