Abstract:
Nowadays, the studies involving the use of
renewable sources of energy are in a continuous stage of
development in regard to different theoretical and
experimental ways of approach. In the context of global
crisis it is imperative to obtain solutions connected with new
ways of capitalization of existing sources (wind, hydro,
solar, biomass).
Biomass residues are of great potential connected with
different used technologies, one of them being biogas
production in during the anaerobic fermentation process.
Degradation is an important part during the process of
obtaining biogas and because of this, the presented study
underlines some of the characteristics of two different sorts
of vegetal biomass, in regard to their physical and chemical
properties and behavior during the anaerobic fermentation
process in co fermentation with waste water for a treatment
plant. Also in this paper is presented a small scale
installation used for testing, which is located at the
Mechanical Engineering Faculty, Politehnica University
Timisoara. Conclusions will be traced relative to the
obtained results in order to determine the possible
applications of the produced biogas.
