Additional information
This study demonstrated how modelling tools can be used to develop practical new approaches to sustainable energy generation for commercial scale industrial processes in the food industry. The research demonstrated how bio waste from a brewery, augmented by bio waste from nearby farms, could be used to create biogas to feed a boiler/engine CHP/trigeneration facility in order to generate sufficient electricity, heat and cooling for the production process. The project was carried out as part of the EPSRC Thermal Management of Industrial Processes (EP/G056706/1) programme and the German postdoctoral programme (DAAD).
