Aim:
After completed the course the student should be able to:
- account for the basic microbial processes responsible for biogas production and descirbe the delicate balances of the anaerobic degradation chain,
- identify and discuss the cause of a process disturbance and give suggestions on how to cure and control the process,
- know the terminology relevant to the process and define key terms and perform relevant calculations in relation to different aspects of the process.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
90 hp in chemistry/biology or equivalent
Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The course is based on lectures, seminars and practical exercises using lab-scale bioreactors. In addition a visit to a full scale biogas plants will normally be performed.
The course duration is 10 weeks and it will end in the beginning of periode ht2.
|
|
Course contents:
The course contains a theoretical and a practical part. The microbiology of the biogas process as ruled by the used substrate is first treated on a theoretical level. Planning and construction of biogas plants for different applications including control systems and treatment of the fermented residue are critical ingredients. Furthermore hygienic, system energetic, economical and environmentally related aspects will be discussed. The practical part of the course involves operation of lab-scale reactors. The experiments will be used to exemplify the biogas potential, kinetics and hydraulic retention times related to different substrates.
