  Thermophilic Adaptation of Anaerobic Sludge for Electricity Production

  By Ankur Agarwal, S Anandita, Saurabh Singh Chauhan

  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Anaerobic digestion of biogas inside the digester occurs in a particular temperature range. Research shows that the production can be increased by 33% by switching over from mesophilic temperature range (30­40 ° C) to thermophilic temperature range (50­60 ° C). Even then, biogas plants generally work in mesophilic range because a large amount of energy is required to maintain the high digester …
