| Popis: | Anaerobic treatments have been successfully employed for more than one hundred years to stabilize sewage sludge. The main aim of sludge anaerobic digestion is the degradation and destruction of organic matter, with consequent sludge stabilization and pathogen reduction. One of the advantages of the fermentative system over aerobic treatment is the production of biogas (i.e., an available source of energy), which in some cases can be exploited to satisfy part of the energy requirements of the treatment plant. Nevertheless, inadequate knowledge of the principles governing the process often prevents satisfactory digester management, and thus there is an evident need for reliable kinetic models in order to improve performance and optimize the control strategies. In the present review, an overview of the anaerobic digestion models proposed in the specialized literature is presented. Models are grouped according to the degree of substrate characterization and thus of complexity (in terms of number of equations ... |
