Anaerobic digestion of fat, oil, and grease (FOG) under combined additives: Enhanced digestibility, biogas production, and microbiome

sarah JonasResearch Alert

Abstract Addition of a single additive (such as biochar or calcium) in anaerobic digestion has been studied previously. However, the effect of combined additives in anaerobic digestion (including fat, oil, and grease) has not been well-investigated yet. In this study, the biogas/biomethane, lipid degradation,…

This may be the new “silent” killer, as was unrecognized high blood pressure in previous decades.
