Impact of Operational Factors, Inoculum Origin, and Feedstock Preservation on the Biochemical Methane Potential

Anaerobic digestion for the valorization of organic wastes into biogas is gaining worldwide interest. Nonetheless, the sizing of the biogas plant units require knowledge of the quantity of feedstock, and their associated methane potentials, estimated widely by Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) tes...

description Anaerobic digestion for the valorization of organic wastes into biogas is gaining worldwide interest.
