Among different conversion processes for biomass, biological anaerobic digestion is one of
the most economic ways to produce biogas from various biomass substrates. In addition to …

Specific methanogenic activity (SMA) determines the methane-producing capability of the
sludge for a specific substrate. Methanogenic activity test can be used to delineate the …

The microbial community of 21 full-scale biogas reactors was examined using 454
pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA gene sequences. These reactors included seven (six …

Written by experts in the field, this thoroughly updated third edition covers commonly used
and emerging suspended and attached growth reactors. Drawing on their extensive …

The bacterial and archaeal community structure was examined in two methanogenic

Laboratory-scale reactors treating food industry waste were used to investigate the effects of
additions of cobalt (Co), nickel/molybdenum/boron (Ni/Mo/B) and selenium/tungsten (Se/W) …

Two laboratory-scale anaerobic membrane bioreactors, AnMBR 1 and AnMBR 2, were run
in parallel at 25 and 15° C, respectively. Total chemical oxygen demand (COD) removal …

Anaerobic membrane bioreactor (AnMBR) treatment of a simulated domestic wastewater
was evaluated at psychrophilic temperatures of 15, 12, 9, 6, and 3° C. Chemical oxygen …

Over 258 Mt of solid waste are generated annually in Europe, a large fraction of which is
biowaste. Sewage sludge is another major waste fraction. In this study, biowaste and …

The performance of a novel integrated anaerobic fluidized-bed membrane bioreactor
(IAFMBR) for treating practical domestic wastewater was investigated at a step dropped …
