Anaerobic digestion of agricultural residues in lab-scale CSTRs - evaluation of the start-up phase, process disturbances and serial digestion
Five lab-scale CSTRs are operated as downscaled models of a full-scale farm-based biogas plant. The reactors are fed with a mixture of liquid fractions from cattle and swine manure together with solid agricultural residues. They are used for studies of the start-up phase of lab-scale biogas processes, the impact of process disturbances, and the performance of different configurations of serially connected reactors.
