  • Title: Methane production from sweet sorghum residues via a two-stage process.
    Author: Stamatelatou K, Dravillas K, Lyberatos G.
    Journal: Water Sci Technol; 2003; 48(4):235-8. PubMed ID: 14531448.
    Abstract:
    The start-up of a two-stage reactor configuration for the anaerobic digestion of sweet sorghum residues was evaluated. The sweet sorghum residues were a waste stream originating from the alcoholic fermentation of sweet sorghum and the subsequent distillation step. This waste stream contained high concentration of solid matter (9% TS) and thus could be characterized as a semi-solid, not easily biodegradable wastewater with high COD (115 g/l). The application of the proposed two-stage configuration (consisting of one thermophilic hydrolyser and one mesophilic methaniser) achieved a methane production of 16 l/l wastewater under a hydraulic retention time of 19 d.
