Review on anaerobic digestion models: Model classification & elaboration of process phenomena

Samuel Emebu et al.

Summary: This article reviews mathematical models of anaerobic digestion (AD) and classifies them. In addition, it discusses the biochemical stages and other processes essential to AD, and reviews the models on these processes. The comprehensive approach of this review aims to evaluate the interdependence and individual and interactive effects of all processes, process factors, and process estimations on AD.

Early prediction of BMP tests: A step response method for estimating first-order model parameters

Arianna Catenacci et al.

Summary: The Biochemical Methane Potential (BMP) test is an essential tool for studying digester performance, but its application is limited due to long duration and high cost. This study proposes a new method to predict BMP parameters early on based on a partial analysis of experimental data, which can significantly shorten the testing duration. Results show that this method provides good early estimates within a short time.
