Anaerobic co-digestion of excess brewery yeast in a granular biomass reactor to enhance the production of biomethane
Abstract
The anaerobic co-digestion of brewery yeast using granular biomass was studied on the lab, pilot and full-scale. The study shows no adverse effects in the co-digestion of yeast and wastewater in concentrations up to 1.1 (v/v)%. In concentrations up to 2.3% the process is manageable; however, not advisable. In concentrations over 2.8% the process exhibits failure due to the overload with suspended solids. An average specific biogas production of 0.560 m(3)kg(-1) of volatile solids was achieved. Full-scale operation with 0.7% yeast concentration showed a 38.5% increase in the biogas production and a 26.2% increase in the organic loading rate, which resulted in an increase of the biomethane/natural-gas substitute ratio from 10% to 16%. The influence of the yeast addition on the structure of the microbial biomass showed up to 7% dissimilarity in the archaeal and a 32% dissimilarity in the bacterial biomass community, which did not present any difficulties.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
