Optimization of methane production from source separated organic waste

能源需求和显著增加的城市垃圾将继续成为未来几十年世界面临的最大挑战。为解决这一问题，本研究将采用水热预处理的源分离有机废弃物（SSO）作为厌氧消化（AD）的原料，通过对SSO样品进行现代化的预处理，优化AD过程中的温度、压力、水力停留时间等工艺控制参数。本项目中的关键工艺参数将通过实验确定。这项研究的结果将改善整个过程的SSO废物转化为甲烷气体生产通过AD过程，确定显着的因素，减缓了过程控制，并推荐了一个最佳的解决方案，为商业利用。此外，该项目的结果将激发和促进未来的设计，新的广告设施的建设，并帮助克服浪费问题。

Energy demand and remarkably increasing municipal waste will continue to rank among the world's biggestchallenges in the coming decades. To address this issue, this proposal will investigate the feasibility ofhydrothermally pretreated source-separated organic (SSO) waste as feedstock material for methane production.A modern pre-treatment will be applied to SSO samples to optimize process-governing parameters such astempertaure, pressure, hydraulic retention time in anaerobic digestion (AD) process. Key process parameters inthis project will be defined experimentally. The findings from this study will improve overall process of SSOwaste conversion to methane gas production via AD process, determine significant factors that slow down aprocess control and recommend an optimum solution for commercial utilization. Moreover, the results of theproject will intrigue and facilitate future design, construction of new AD facilities and help with overcomingwaste problems.
