Title of the research project:
Effect of the influent (energy crops) characteristics and microbial activity on biogas production during anaerobic digestion – model development and up-scaling
Project description:
The aim of the work is the development of a model based on ADM1, which will include substrate composition data for different energy crops as well as the bacterial dynamics information as determined by FISH-analysis. The model will be developed using Matlab-Simulink and will serve for design and up-scaling of biogas digesters.
