Methane production from fat-rich materials
Journal Title: Civil and Environmental Engineering Reports - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 6
Abstract
Waste materials containing a lot of fats seem to be an attractive substrate for production of methane through the fermentation process. Yet, due to a changing content of reagents and the high concentration of higher fatty acids, they must be stabilized along with other biodegradable wastes in the process of co-fermentation. This process results in a higher fermentation-grade and a greater volume of produced biogas. However, the methane fermentation of sewage sludges or sewage containing higher fatty acids may be problematical, and requires widespread studies in order to get a better understanding of this process.<br/><br/>
