“…As per one review, the beneficial aspect of an enriched biogas yield of 400% was reported for co-digestion compared to digestion of a sole feedstock [1]. In addition, regardless of the substrate to inoculum ratio, the methane yield increased by 120% with co-digestion of vicuñas (VM) and amaranth (AS) compared to anaerobic digestion of a single substrate, which was higher compared to other studies on co-digestion of animal byproducts with an increment in volatile solid (VS) conversion of about 75% [16]. In this regard, this review paper details the impacts of a co-substrate on system performance, various operational parameters, microbe status, and recent achievements.…”

Lignocellulosic feedstocks are year-round, available bio-residues that are the right candidates for counteracting the energy crises and global warming facing the world today. However, lignin leads to a slow hydrolysis rate and is a major bottleneck for biogas production via anaerobic digestion. Anaerobic co-digestion (AcoD) is an economical method available, which overcomes the limitation of a single feedstock’s properties in an anaerobic digestion process. This paper critically reviews the impacts of co-digestion on lignocellulosic biomass degradation, process stability, various working parameters, and microbial activities that improve methane yields. A combination of compatible substrates is chosen to improve the biomethane yield and conversion rate of organic matter. AcoD is a promising method in the delignification of lignocellulosic biomass as an acid pretreatment. Ultimate practices to control the impact of co-digestion on system performances include co-feed selection, in terms of both carbon-to-nitrogen (C/N) and mixing ratios, and other operating conditions. A detailed analysis is performed using data reported in the recent past to assess the sensitivity of influencing parameters on the resultant biogas yield. For the investigators motivated by the basic principles of AcoD technology, this review paper generates baseline data for further research work around co-digestion.

“…Several studies have explored the application of anaerobic digestion to guinea pig manure [15,20]. These investigations highlight that anaerobic digestion (AD) holds significant potential for reducing farm waste while simultaneously offering an alternative means to fulfill local energy requirements by converting guinea pig manure into biogas [21].…”

This article shows the effect that biogases obtained from crop residuals from the Andean region have on the performance of a whole medium-sized electrical-generating gas turbine. This technology could be used to supply electricity in energy-depressed areas where biogas is the only accessible resource. The gas turbine worked with higher efficiencies when the obtained biogases were used compared to natural gas. The biofuel that presented the highest efficiencies was the one obtained from wheat residuals alone. Despite this fact, this biofuel would be the most prone to create aerodynamic problems in the stages of the gas turbine. In this work, it was found that the addition of guinea pig manure to different crop residuals created biofuels less prone to create aerodynamic problems in the compression and expansion stages. In particular, the studied biofuel that had the most similar aerodynamic behavior to the design natural gas case was the one obtained from guinea pig manure and quinoa residuals. On the other hand, this biogas presented the lowest efficiencies of the studied biofuels. Despite this fact, this biofuel showed higher efficiencies than the natural gas case. In the gas turbine combustion chamber, all the studied biofuels operated at lower temperatures than the ones with natural gas, even in the high-power range. This would be an important feature for the running of the combustion chamber and the high-pressure turbine superalloys.

Anaerobic Co-digestion of Slaughter Residues with Agricultural Waste of Amaranth Quinoa and Wheat

et al. 2021

The objective of this research is to experimentally evaluate the anaerobic co-digestion of slaughterhouse residues in the city of Guaranda with straw residues from agriculture, such as: amaranth, quinoa and wheat. The study was carried out on a laboratory scale using 311 ml biodigesters under mesophilic conditions of 37 °C. Anaerobic co-digestion resulted in methane yields of 407 ml CH 4 /g VS, with a methane content in the biogas of 77% for the mixture of slaughterhouse waste and quinoa (RM-QU (25:75)). The increase in inoculum in the mixtures composed of slaughterhouse residues and quinoa increased the biodegradability between 17 and 22%. However, in the mixtures of slaughterhouse waste and amaranth (RM-AM (0:100)), a further increase in inoculum decreased biodegradability by 5%. To predict and simulate methane production, 5 kinetic models were used: modified Gompertz, logistic equation, transfer, cone and Richards. The cone model was the one that best adjusted the experimental values with those predicted with an R 2 of 0.982 to 0.999 and RMSE of 0.61 to 6.92 ml CH 4 /g VS. The calculation of the theoretical yield was carried out by stoichiometry and elemental analysis of the samples.Theoretical yields ranged between 480-564 ml CH 4 /g VS for all mixtures of RM with agricultural residues.
