Improving the biogas production in two-phase anaerobic digester of food waste
Research Overview
This study investigates the enhancement of biogas production in two-phase anaerobic digestion systems treating food waste through the use of sugarcane bagasse-derived biochar. The research evaluates system performance across both acidogenic and methanogenic phases, focusing on improving gas yield and process stability.
The findings demonstrate that biochar addition contributes to increased biogas production efficiency and supports more stable digestion behavior, offering a practical approach for optimizing organic waste-to-energy systems.
- Key Contributions
- Enhanced biogas production through biochar integration in anaerobic digestion systems.
- Improved process stability across acidogenic and methanogenic phases.
- Comparative performance evaluation between control and biochar-enhanced conditions.
- Validation of biochar as an effective additive for food waste treatment.
