Energy Recovery from Residual Waste by Means of Anaerobic Digestion Technologies
ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a natural process, spontaneously taking place in natural surroundings, such as marshes,bogs, paddies, or in cesspits, landfills, and dedicated digesters, used for the conversion of organic waste into a rich gas. ...

High solids anaerobic digestion of pfmsw using novel anaerobic reactors
In the last decade efforts have been made to control anaerobic digestion of the putrescible fraction of municipal solid waste (PFMSW) in engineered reactors, than to allow for `free` digestion in landfill sites. Such a process achieves enhanced ...

Hydrodynamics characterization of a fluidized bed reactor with an internal circulation of solids (fb-ics). Application to anaerobic methanogenic phase.
Many advantages of the fluidized beds for the anaerobic treatment are widely reported in literature. Heijnen et al. (1989) comments the following main potential advantages: higher purification capacity, no clogging of the reactor, no problems of ...
