The effect of pressure and temperature pretreatment on the biogas output from algal biomass

Abstract: This paper presents data on methane fermentation of algal biomass containing Chlorella sp. and Scenedesmus sp. The biomass was obtained from closed-culture photobioreactors. Before the process, the algae were subjected to low temperature and pressure pretreatment for 0.0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 h. The prepared biomass was subjected to mesophilic methane fermentation. The amount and composition of the biogas formed in the process were determined. The amount of biogas produced was larger when the biomass was subjected… Show more

“…However, the impact of pretreatment on the process performance in dry AD of food waste has not yet been investigated. It is known that pretreatment accelerates the hydrolysis phase of the AD with a significant impact on the reduction of residence times [27]. The lower the residence time, the lower is the reactor volume required-which leads to lower capital costs per unit.…”

“…[1,2] The conversion of biomass, either through anaerobic conditions or direct combustion, provides a clean and renewable source of energy. [1,3] Biomass-based energy alternatives offer the potential to replace a significant portion of fossil fuel. [4][5][6] Biomass is considered a renewable energy resource and provides clean fuel, that is, it adds no additional CO 2 into the environment while burning.…”
