Tiivistelmä
This thesis introduces and analyses anaerobic digestion for the production of Biogas. The task was not easy mainly because there are so many resources available for anaerobic digestion but not so many for anaerobic digestion leading to biogas. Finally, the thesis is ready to give you the information about anaerobic digestion.
Consequently, the analysis of the process continues with the feedstocks that exist and are possible to be treated with AD and with the whole procedure, which is taking place. Hydrolysis, Acidification and Methane Generation. The microbiology of the process follows with extent information about the microbes and bacteria and what their role is to the complete process.
As the thesis goes on, specific information is given for the implementation of a biogas plant. How the physical conditions are interacting and influence the design of a biogas plant, the types of plants and digesters available today and the most important parts are some of the subjects that are under consideration in this work.
As a final point, implementation on a brewery follows with average effluent compositions, discharge requirements, different biological treatment methods while an example with the best suitable reactor for a brewery, the Internal Circulation Reactor (IC), is been mentioned.
