  2. 1. Bio-based barriers from wood hydrolysates : A pilot-scale approach

    Author : Soheil Saadatmand; Ulrica Edlund; Youssef Habibi; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Wood hydrolysate; biorefinery; oxygen permeability; multilayer barriers; food packaging.; vedhydrolysat; syrgaspermeabilitet; barriärskikt; livsmedelsförpackning;

    Abstract : Wood hydrolysates (WHs) are liquids extracted from the hydrothermal treatment of wood. They exist as the byproduct of forestry industries such as the dissolving pulp and fiberboard industries. WHs are hemicellulose-based with a large share of lignin in the chemical composition.

  4. 2. The Technology and Economy of Farm-Scale, High-Solids Anaerobic Digestion of Plant Biomass

    Author : Mattias Svensson; Bioteknik; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; farm-scale; Bioteknik; farmhouse construction; Lantbruksteknik; Biotechnology; agricultural machines; kontroll av utsläpp; Agricultural engineering; Miljöteknik; pollution control; Environmental technology; Lantbruksekonomi; straw bed priming; stratified bed digesters; nitrogen recycling; greenhouse gases; Sweden; Agricultural economics; sequential single-stage fed-batch; ley crops; sustainability; wheat straw; sugar beet tops; crop residues; high-solids; economy; Anaerobic digestion; biogas upgrading;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion is a microbially mediated process occurring in nature in the absence of oxygen and other non-carbonaceous electron acceptors. The majority of the carbon of the organic matter degraded in the process is transformed into carbon dioxide and methane. READ MORE

  5. 3. Risk of nitrous oxide emissions and potential of bioaugmentation when treating digester supernatant via nitrification-denitrification

    Author : Fredrik Stenström; Avdelningen för kemiteknik; []
    Keywords : Bioaugmentation; Digester supernatant; Inoculation; Nitrification-denitrification; Nitrifiers; Nitrous oxide emissions; Reject water; Bioaugmentation; Digester supernatant; Inoculation; Nitrification-denitrification; Nitrifiers; Nitrous oxide emissions; Reject water;

    Abstract : This thesis examines two different impacts of sidestream treatment of digester supernatant via nitrification-denitrification in a sequenced batch reactor (SBR). One of the impacts is the detrimental formation of nitrous oxide, and the other is the positive boosting of nitrifiers to the mainstream process through bioaugmentation. READ MORE

  6. 4. Anaerobic Digester Fluid Rheology and Process Efficiency : Interactions of Substrate Composition, Trace Element Availability, and Microbial Activity

    Author : Luka Šafarič; Annika Björn; Sepehr Shakeri Yekta; David Bastviken; David C Stuckey; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES; Anaerobic digestion; biogas; rheology; trace elements; microbiology; Anaerob rötning; biogas; reologi; spårämnen; mikrobiologi;

    Abstract : As the anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions continue imposing stress on our environment, it is becoming increasingly important to identify and implement new renewable technologies. Biogas production through anaerobic digestion has a great potential, since it links waste treatment with extraction of renewable energy, enabling circular bio-economies that are vital for a sustainable future.

  7. 5. Swedish farm-scale biogas production-substrates and operating parameters

    Author : Karin Ahlberg Eliasson; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet; []
    Keywords : LANTBRUKSVETENSKAPER; AGRICULTURAL SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Biogas production from agricultural waste streams provides three value streams: production of fossil-free energy, reduced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and production of nutrient-rich digestate that can be used as fertiliser. However, farm-based biogas production is expanding rather slowly. READ MORE
