Anaerobic digestion of dried/shredded food waste in a periodic anaerobic baffled reactor

The objective of the current work is to study the impact of the operational parameters' variation (HRT, OLR and T) on biomethane productivity in a periodic anaerobic baffled reactor (PABR). The feedstock used was a biomass product named food residue biomass (FORBI), which is dried and shredded...
