ADM1 can be applied to continuous bio-hydrogen production using a variable stoichiometry approach
The paper, supported by EU Marie Curie (MTKD-CT-2004-509821) and EPSRC SUPERGEN SHEC, facilitates the use of the established anaerobic digestion model (ADM1) for previously un-modelled operating conditions and make it applicable to hydrogen production through fermentative routes. Significantly, it demonstrated a mechanism by which variations in kinetics due to widely deviating operating conditions, could be accommodated within ADM1. Account can thus be taken of thermodynamic conditions which favour fermentative hydrogen production. Two phase AD with hydrogen generation as a result of this paper may now be modelled within the international standard ADM1 framework, by these accessible procedures.
