Engineering, operation and economics of methane gas production

Abstract: 

Processing of biomass for the production of a fuel gas containing methane requires a complex system. The degree of complexity is, in part, a function of the biomass utilized. In general, this system consists of 3 main subsystems;

Raw material preparation

- Methane fermentation

- Residue processing, utilization and/or disposal
