Saponification pre-treatment and biosensors based control system for slaughterhouse waste anaerobic digestion improvement (ADAW)

Start date: Mar 1, 2013, End date: Feb 28, 2015,

...tment of non-risk animal waste. Slaughterhouse waste is characterised by high content of lipids, which difficult other treatment strategies, like anaerobic digestion (AD). Current AD technologies for biogas production are still suffering from technical and economical obstacles, which are limiting its use as an energy source. Therefore, EU slaughterhouse holders need new solutions with improved cos ...
