Anaerobic digestion of pre-treated fruit and vegetable wastes

The aim of this project is to examine biogas production (i.e. methane yield) from anaerobic digestion of thermally pre-treated fruit and vegetable wastes (FVW). This is done via Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) batch experiments with 3gVS/l loaded input of wastes. FVW were thermally pre-treated a...
