  2. 1. Biological Pretreatment and Dry Digestion Processes for Biogas Production

    Author : Regina Patinvoh; Thierry Ribeiro; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid wastes; Dry anaerobic digestion; Textile bioreactor; Plug flow bioreactor; Digestate; Process stability; Pretreatment; Co-digestion; Mesophilic; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : Biogas technology has been used quite extensively to generate renewable energy from organic wastes while also recycling nutrients in the wastes and reducing harmful emissions. However, the challenges of low biogas yield from recalcitrant and inhibitory solid wastes together with high construction and operation costs of bioreactors have impeded optimal performance through this process.

  4. 2. Effects of high sugar concentrations in production scale bioreactor : a scale-down study of s. cervisiae

    Author : Stefan George; KTH; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Substrate concentration gradients exist in large-scalebioreactors, due to a combination of insufficient mass transferand mixing, and microbial activities. Zones with high substrateconcentration may arise close to a feed point. It is largelyunknown to what extent these gradients influence themicroorganisms and what the microbial response might be.

  5. 3. Circular bioeconomy through valorisation of agro-industrial residues by the edible filamentous fungus Neurospora intermedia

    Author : Rebecca Gmoser; Mohammad J Taherzadeh; José António Teixeira; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Neurospora intermedia; mycoprotein; carotenoids; feed; solid-state fermentation; circular bioeconomy; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

    Abstract : Prevention of dramatic climate change and ensuring food and nutrition security for subsequent generations necessitates the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and efficient use of the world’s resources, including efficient waste disposal. The agro-industrial sector generates a large amount of organic waste, that is currently underexploited owing to poor waste management practices. READ MORE
