Principles of material flow in anaerobic methane production processes . Rising prices of fossil energy are upgrading the importance of processes for generating fuels from organic wastes and from renewable biomass. Anaerobic digestion is a suitable approach for the production of fuel gas rich in methane from wet or liquid organic feedstock. Depending upon the biochemical characteristics of the digestion process and upon the physical conditions for an optimal mass transport, specific technical solutions have been found for treating typical substrates differing in chemical composition, digestability, and fluid mechanical behaviour; such substrates are waste water, sludges, and organic solids with a high liquid content. A survey is given on the principal systems now used for conducting material to be digested through the whole process and in particular through the bioreactor.
