Optimising energy production from anaerobic digestion using molecular microbial monitoring techniques developed for the oil and gas industries

该可行性研究将调查将石油工业中用于确定细菌种群的能力和方法转移到使用厌氧消化（AD）技术从废物和其他可再生资源生产可再生能源的潜力。提高AD的性能和降低相关风险将有助于改善能源安全、管理和沼气形式的能源储存。该研究将是NCIMB和ORA的新合作，将AD工艺技术的专业知识与分子微生物监测结合起来，为优化工艺控制和提高操作效率带来新的模式。

This feasibility study will investigate the potential of transferring competency and methods developed for use in the oil industry for the determination of bacterial populations, to the production of renewable energy from wastes and other renewable sources using anaerobic digestion (AD) technology. Improved performance and lowering of associated risks in AD will contribute to improved energy security, management and storage of energy in the form of biogas. The study will be a new collaboration for NCIMB and ORA bringing together expertise in AD process technology together with molecular microbial monitoring to bring a new model for optimising process control and improve efficiencies of operation.
