Abstract

The object of study is the process of biogas production in a bioreactor with a stirring device and an inert biofilm carrier. The problematic issue is the retention of biofilm on inert media at a certain number of revolutions of the stirrer. A scheme of a laboratory setup for studying the process of biogas production in a bioreactor with an inert carrier is presented. An important value was determined - the specific rate of substrate release

Keywords

bioreactor design, biogas production, anaerobic conditions, moving biofilm carrier
