The Future of Biogas: Why Biogas Analyzers are Key to Advancements in Renewable Energy
As the world continues to shift towards sustainable energy sources, biogas is emerging as a valuable and versatile renewable energy option. Biogas is produced through the decomposition of organic matter, such as agricultural waste and sewage, and can be used to generate electricity, heat, and fuel. However, to get the most out of this resource, it is crucial to understand and monitor the quality ...

The hydrolysis and biogas production of complex cellulosic substrates using three anaerobic biomass sources
In this study, the ability of various sludges to digest a diverse range of cellulose and cellulose-derived substrates was assessed at different temperatures to elucidate the factors affecting hydrolysis. For this purpose, the biogas production was monitored and the specific biogas activity (SBA) of the sludges was employed to compare the performance of three anaerobic sludges on the degradation ...

New technology enables biogas plant optimization
Governments around the world are seeking to lower greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the fight against climate change, to reduce waste to landfill, and to increase their utilisation of renewable energy in compliance with international agreements. Consequently, in many countries, subsidies have been made available to encourage the growth of the biogas sector. According to the International ...

Modelling of anaerobic digester biogas production: case study of a pilot project in Morocco
An anaerobic digestion pilot system was implemented in June 2010 in the Moroccan village of Dayet Ifrah. The input material consists of toilet wastewater and cattle manure. Biogas is produced under anaerobic conditions. It is used for heating and cooking. This biogas system could be an useful sanitation technology due to its ability to treat wastewater. The biogas system was monitored over 86 ...

Anaerobic treatment of crude glycerol from biodiesel production
In this study, we evaluated the use of an up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor to treat crude glycerol obtained from cottonseed biodiesel production. The laboratory-scale UASB reactor (7.0 L) was operated at ambient temperature of 26.5°C with chemical oxygen demand (COD) concentrations between 0.5 and 8.0 g/L. The volatile fatty acid contents, pH, inorganic salt contents and biogas ...

Ensuring Safety and Compliance in Biogas Facilities: The Role of Biogas Analyzer
Biogas has emerged as a promising renewable energy source with significant environmental benefits. It is produced through the anaerobic digestion of organic materials such as agricultural waste, food scraps, and sewage sludge. Biogas predominantly consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), along with traces of impurities like hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and moisture. While biogas offers ...

Role of Gas Analysis in the Future of Biogas
Although subject to fierce debate over the last few decades, there is now a global scientific consensus that the earth’s climate is warming at an unsustainable rate. Data gathered by Berkeley Earth, the Japanese Meteorological Agency, the Met Office Hadley Centre, NASA, and the NOAA National Climactic Data Centre shows a consistent trend of long-term global rising temperatures. With precise ...

Biogas and Anaerobic Digestion in Relation to CH4 Methane Monitoring
The use of biogas as a renewable energy source currently accounts for 10 % of global primary energy consumption1 and is often heralded as the perfect example of the ‘circular economy’ – where waste products can be reused to generate energy for other processes in a self-perpetuating cycle.2Biogas consists of the mixture of gases produced by the breakdown of organic matter by bacteria under ...
