Content(s)
The methanisation principle from a microbiological point of view
- Biological principles
- Biomass : bacteria and culture conditions
- Parameters that are important to follow to ensure a great biomass growth
- Specificities to your subject
Technical part : different processes used for the different types of biomass to be transformed
- Description of the different processes,
- Principle of the processes to treat this type of biomass
- Different Reactors that can be used: description of their characteristics, how to choose the good reactor depending on the different situations, recommendation…
