Ammonia removal in anaerobic digestion by biogas stripping: an evaluation of process alternatives using a first order rate model based on experimental findings
Significance of output:
Ammonia is a key issue in the stable digestion of food waste and other high-nitrogen materials: the paper reports the results of a special Defra-funded project (WR1208) to address this, set up when the UK government first started strongly to promote this option1. WRAP organised and funded 3 workshops in Bristol, Birmingham and Glasgow, specifically to disseminate the research findings to industry2, 3. Pilot-scale trials are now being conducted by Andigestion4 funded by the FP7 Energy programme5, with further development under discussion by Marches Biogas6.
