(author)Small-scale electrical power generation (<100 kW) from biogas plants to provide off-grid electricity is of growing interest. Currently, gas engines are used to meet this demand. Alternatively, more efficient small-scale solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) can be used to enhance electricity generation from small-scale biogas plants. Most...journal article 2021

Jiménez, Janet (author), Barrera, Ernesto L. (author), De Vrieze, Jo (author), Boon, Nico (author), DeMeester, Steven (author), Spanjers, H. (author), Romero, Osvaldo Romero (author), Dewulf, Jo (author)BACKGROUND: Microbial community dynamics during the anaerobic digestion of vinasse has been little studied. However, having knowledge about it is essential for early detection of reactor operational difficulties to apply preventive actions. This research studies the microbial community dynamics in the anaerobic digestion of vinasse, linking...journal article 2018

Ghasimi, D.S.M. (author)Fine sieves can be implemented as compact alternatives to primary clarification. Fine sieved fraction (FSF) is a heterogeneous substrate that mainly consists of fibers originating from toilet paper and thus contains a high cellulosic fraction. Resource recovery and energy neutral sewage treatment is nowadays focus of many water authorities. This...doctoral thesis 2016

Junicke, H. (author)Anaerobic digestion is a widely applied process in which close interactions between different microbial groups result in the formation of renewable energy in the form of biogas. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms of the electron transfer between acetogenic bacteria and methanogenic archaea in the final steps of the anaerobic digestion...doctoral thesis 2015

(author)To enhance energy production from methane or resource recovery from digestate, anaerobic digestion processes require advanced instrumentation and control tools. Over the years, research on these topics has evolved and followed the main fields of application of anaerobic digestion processes: from municipal sewage sludge to liquid—mainly...journal article 2015

Tao, Y. (author), De Kreuk, M.K. (author), Zandvoort, M.H. (author), Van Lier, J.B. (author)Background In this research, the feasibility of, and population dynamics in, one-step anaerobic sequencing batch reactor systems treating the fine sieved fraction (FSF) from raw municipal wastewater was studied under thermophilic (55 °C) and mesophilic (35 °C) conditions. FSF was sequestered from raw municipal wastewater, in the Netherlands,...journal article 2015

Kleerebezem, R. (author), Joosse, B. (author), Rozendaal, R. (author), Van Loosdrecht, M.C.M. (author)Anaerobic digestion for the production of methane containing biogas is the classic example of a resource recovery process that combines stabilization of particulate organic matter or wastewater treatment with the production of a valuable end-product. Attractive features of the process include the production of a single end-product from a...journal article 2015

Mitigation of Humic Acid Inhibition in Anaerobic Digestion of Cellulose by Addition of Various SaltsAzman, S. (author), Khadem, A.F. (author), Zeeman, G. (author), Van Lier, J.B. (author), Plugge, C.M. (author)Humic compounds are inhibitory to the anaerobic hydrolysis of cellulosic biomass. In this study, the impact of salt addition to mitigate the inhibitory effects of humic compounds was investigated. The experiment was conducted using batch tests to monitor the anaerobic hydrolysis of cellulose in the presence of humic acid. Sodium, potassium,...journal article 2015

Junicke, H. (author), Abbas, B. (author), Oentoro, J. (author), Van Loosdrecht, M. (author), Kleerebezem, R. (author)Identification of individual biomass concentrations is a crucial step towards an improved understanding of anaerobic digestion processes and mixed microbial conversions in general. The knowledge of individual biomass concentrations allows for the calculation of biomass specific conversion rates which form the basis of anaerobic digestion models....journal article 2014
