Manutencao da producao de metano em industrias sucroalcooleiras a partir da substituicao de vinhaca por glicerol no periodo de entressafra de cana de acucar
Project developed at the School of Engineering of Sao Carlos (EESC) of the University of Sao Paulo (USP)Maintenance of methane production in sugarcane industries, from the replacement of vinasse by glycerol in the sugarcane off-seasonWastewater treatment systems that use anaerobic processes are promising for removing the polluting organic load from vinasse, associated with the production of bioenergy. The interruption in the operation of anaerobic reactors in sugarcane off-season periods is certainly a major challenge to be faced in the anaerobic treatment of wastewater from the sugar and ethanol industries, since the distribution period is slower than desired. , negatively compromising the energy balance in sugar and alcohol plants. In view of the above, the potential use of glycerol by anaerobic mono- and co-digestion for methane generation and maintenance of the active microbial population in an anaerobic structured fixed bed reactor (AnSTBR) treating vinasse was evaluated during the off-season period.(I've tried to narrow it down, but feel free to make any pertinent changes)
