• Biogas purification using membrane micro-aeration: A mass transfer analysis 

      Bakke, Rune; Perera, Degurunnehalage Wathsala U.; Botheju, Paranavidanelage Deshai (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2014)
      When sulfur containing organic feedstocks undergo anaerobic digestion, sulfides are formed due to the biological activities of sulfur reducing bacteria. Presence of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) negatively affects the usage of ...
    • Evaluation and comparison of Kalman filter algorithms 

      Xi, Chao (Master thesis, 2015-11-13)
      In practical applications, biogas flow sensors are used to measure the output methane gas from the reactor. But none of the states are measured. State estimation methods can be used to solve this problem. In this thesis ...
    • Optimal design and operation of a UASB reactor for dairy cattle manure 

      Haugen, Finn; Bakke, Rune; Lie, Bernt; Hovland, Jon; Vasdal, Knut (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-01)
      Optimal design and operation of a planned full-scale UASB reactor at a dairy farm are determined using optimization algorithms based on steady state simulations of a dynamic AD process model combined with models of the ...
    • Optimization of design and operation of anaerobic digestion reactors 

      Haddad, Arya (Master thesis, 2015-11-12)
      The sustainable provision of bio-methane plays a key role in the future energy supply and is a promising environmentally friendly solution for waste processing. With rising number and size of biogas power plants process ...
    • Ponds and anaerobic digestion combination 

      Bjerkely, Magnus (Master thesis, 2015-10-30)
      Production of biogas from small farms in China is decreasing because of the decrease in farm animals at these farms. It is needed a replacement for the animal manure. The replacement looked into in this paper is an algae ...
    • Transient response to shock loads in biogas processes 

      Helgestad, Haiyun Zhang (Master thesis, 2006)
      Active culture which is in a semi steady state was extracted from an anaerobic digestion reactor, transferred to a continuously stirred batch reactor with rather small head space. 35±1ºC was controlled for the reactor to ...
