Research Abstract

Organic solids as mixed substrates have induced the great variance of anaerobically generated biogas volume in dry methane fermentation. Constant agitation in the reactor decreased the variance of biogas generation and increased the volume of biogas. These results indicated that disintegration rates of organic solids would limit an initial generation rate of biogas in dry methane fermentation.
