    1) Anaerobic digestion is a process that produces biogas from organic matter without oxygen. It allows the production of biogas that can be used as an energy source, and produces digestate as a fertilizer. 2) There are four main steps to anaerobic digestion: hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis. Regulatory parameters like temperature, pH, alkalinity, and volatile acidity must be closely monitored. 3) During anaerobic digestion, microorganisms convert organic matter into methane gas and carbon dioxide. Pretreatments can intensify the process by increasing methane production yields and kinetics.

    methanisation

    Dr. Jean El Achkar

    Methanization or anaerobic digestion


    Anaerobic digestion allows the production of biogas that can be recovered in different forms.
    The digestate produced, offers an alternative to mineral fertilizers whose synthesis consumes
    energy and chemical resources.

    Conversion of organic matter to methane

    During anaerobic digestion, the conversion of organic matter (OM) can be simplified according to

    the following equation:

    ed

    • Part of the organic matter (OM) is used by the microorganisms (μ) to synthesize a
    new biomass (n μ ).

    • On the fraction of organic matter converted, 5 to 10% by weight is found in the form of biomass

    microbial (the rest, therefore, in the form of biogas).

    • The part of the non-biodegradable MO is named recalcitrant ( recalcitrant MO ).

    • The biogas formed consists of combustible methane (50 to 75%), carbon dioxide (25 to 45%) and

    different trace gases (NH 3 , H 2 S, CO, ...). 11

    Pretreatments - Intensification of the process

    Effects of pre-treatments on methane production measured by BMP tests: (A)


    production of methane without pretreatment, (B) increase in methane production
    after pretreatment and (C) acceleration of production kinetics after pretreatment.

    methanation
    Unlike methanation, which is a natural process, methanation is an industrial process.
    The principle ? Carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide is reacted with hydrogen. it
    allows to produce methane and water. This catalytic conversion operation is called "reaction
    of Sabatier ".
