What is anaerobic digestion?
AD is a biological technology which, in the absence of oxygen,
decomposes organic matter.
The breakdown of the biodegradable organic matter produce stable
organic residues and biogas (a mixture of methane (CH4) and carbon
dioxide (CO2)).
Anaerobic conditions requires the absence of oxidizers compounds*:
- Oxygen (O2)
- Nitrate (NO3-) and nitrite (NO2
-)
- Sulphates (SO42-)
* Substances that have the ability to oxidize other substances. They gain electrons, they are reduced, so other
compounds have to loss it (oxidized).

What is anaerobic digestion?
AD take place in the nature where organic matter is present and the
oxygen concentration is negligible:
- Stomachs of ruminants
- Sediments of lakes
- Landfills
- Sewers

Anaerobic digestion advantages
The main advantages of the AD technology are:
- Stabilize organic matter
- Feasible for a wide variety of waste and flow rates
- Reduce greenhouse gases emission global warming
- Low sludge production
- Positive energy balance
Energy from biogas
Low operational cost
- No or very little use of chemicals

What industrial wastewaters are anaerobically digested?
AD is used as an end of pipe treatment for:
Agro-food industry: Sugar, potato, starch, fruit, vegetables, dairy, bakery
Beverage: Beer, soft drinks, wine, fruit juices, coffee
Pulp and paper industry: mechanical pulp, straw, bagasse
Others: pharmaceutical, chemical, municipal sewage, landfill leachate

What is biogas?
Biogas is a methane rich flammable gas that results from the
decomposition of organic waste materials.
Which gases can be found in biogas:
> Mayor compounds:
- Methane (CH4) [60 70 %]
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) [40 30%]
> Minor compounds:
- Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) > odour problems
- Ammonia (NH3) > odour problems
- Hydrogen (H2)

Biogas energy value
Exercise b:
How much water can be boil with 1 m3 of biogas?
Data of water:
Initial temperature = 25 C
Latent heat vaporization ()= 2,260 KJ/m3
Heat capacity (C) = 4.18 KJ/(Kg C)
Biogas lower heating value = 22,400 KJ/m3
Exercise c:
How much water can be boil with 1 m3
of biogas isthe burner efficiency is 0.75?
Exercise a:
How much water can be heat to 80 C with 1 m3 of
biogas?

Biogas uses
Biogas, as a renewable source of energy, is becoming more
important as petrol cost continue to rise.
Even some AD plant still burn the biogas in flares, digester gases are
used as fuel for:
- Heating anaerobic digesters and plant buildings
- To operate cogeneration unit
- To operate blowers, pumps,
Household and/or communities
AD can use biogas for:
- heat water
- cook
- light

The biogas sector has never before aroused so much attention as it does today.
Interest has been fired by the introduction of regulatory directives
- Council Directive 1999/31/EC of 26 April 1999on the landfill of waste
- Council Directive 2008/98/EC on waste
- Council Directive 2009/28/EC of 23 April 2009 on the promotion of the use of
energy from renewable sources
Biogas is mainly produced form waste treatment. However, energy crops are growing
Biogas production has been stimulated to farm holders to reduce their energy
dependency and diversify their incomes.
Countries want to reduce their dependency on natural gas, purify biogas to obtain
biomethane which can be injected in the natural gas grid
