ResumenEn este estudio se analizó la adaptación de dos inóculos, tomados en una industria láctea y una industria cervecera, en digestores anaeróbicos de mezcla completa (CSTR). El estudio es necesario porque en el uso de la tecnología anaeróbica, el arranque del sistema es crítico y lento, y para acelerar el tiempo de arranque de un digestor anaeróbico, se recurre a la inoculación. Se caracterizaron los residuos de alimentos y los inóculos, se alimentaron los digestores a una misma concentración y composición del residuo orgánico, y se analizó la reacción de degradación durante 150 días. La adaptación del inóculo dos (industria cervecera) al residuo orgánico fue más rápida y estable en el proceso de degradación, lo que dio un mayor rendimiento de biogás y concentración de metano (48.3%). Sistemas de digestión operando con un pH por debajo de 6.5 producen biogás con bajo contenido de metano.

The study is needed because in the use of anaerobic technology, the start-up of the system is critical and slow and inoculation is used to speed up the start-up time in anaerobic digesters. The food waste and inoculums were characterized, the digesters were fed at the same concentration and composition of organic waste, and degradation reaction was analyzed during 150 days. The adaptation inoculum two (brewing industry) to the organic residue was faster and more stable in the degradation process, resulting in a higher yield of biogas and methane concentration (48.3%). Digestion systems operating with a pH below 6.5 produce biogas with low methane content.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
