A significant part of the book is dedicated to the presentation of guidelines for rational design
of the UASB reactor itself, in which valuable experience from many full-scale UASB systems …

Tofu is a popular food for the people because it contains good and healthy nutrition.
Furthermore, it is low-cost for many people. The tofu processing industry, which usually is …

The generation of large volumes of vinasse during the production of biofuel ethanol is a
challenging problem since inappropriate application of the byproduct as an agro-fertigant …

Methane production from marine microalgae Isochrysis galbana was assessed before and
after mechanical and chemical pretreatments. Mechanical pretreatment resulted in a 61.7 …

Anaerobic co-digestion often improves the yields and stability of single anaerobic digestion.
However, finding the right substrate proportions within mixtures and corresponding optimal …

Enzymatic hydrolysis and anaerobic treatment of effluent similar to that generated in the fish
processing industry were evaluated at 30° C and 50° C. Hydrolysis used lipase produced by …

This study evaluates the anaerobic mesophilic mono-and co-digestion of poly (3-
hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyhexanoate)(PHBH) plastic bottles as a proxy for rigid …

The study investigated the influence of the target pH-values 4.5, 5, 5.5 and 6 in the
acidification reactor on process parameters, such as substrate-specific methane yield and …

This study evaluated the possibility of using sugarcane vinasse for biological hydrogen
production under non-sterile conditions via sequential two-stage fermentative and …

This chapter reviews the production of hydrogen in microbial electrolysis cells (MEC) used to
treat wastewater. The technology has huge potential for application within the wastewater …
