We consider one-step and two-step simple models of anaerobic digestion that are able to adequately capture the main dynamical behaviour of the full anaerobic digestion model ADM1. We do not consider specific growth functions. We only require them to satisfy certain qualitative assumptions. These assumptions are satisfied for concave growth functions, but they are also satisfied for a large class of growth functions found in many applications. We consider the maximisation of the biogas production with respect to the operating parameters of the model, which are the dilution rate and the substrate input concentration. We give the best operating conditions and we describe them as a subset of the set of operating parameters. Our models incorporate biomass decay terms, corresponding to maintenance. Numerical plots with specified growth functions and biological parameters illustrate the obtained results.
