More farmers aim to use crop waste to generate electricity from burning biogas while big business is considering the same for industrial waste, after Britain introduced more generous support in April.

In the present studies, attempts are made to optimize digestion time, initial feed pH, feed temperature and feed flow rate (organic loading rate, OLR) for maximum yield of methane gas and maximum removal of chemical oxygen demand and biological oxygen demand (BOD) of food processing industry wastewaters in three-phase fluidized bed bioreactor.
