High-Yield and Resilient Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Food Waste and Grease Interceptor Waste: Insights and Applications

Join us to get an inside look at cutting-edge research on optimizing anaerobic digestion. Learn how this project boosts methane yields and enhances process resilience against diverse waste types. You’ll explore the practical strategies and actionable insights for optimizing your anaerobic digestion processes and operations.

You’ll discover how to turn food and alternative waste into a renewable energy resource and:

• Gain insights into developing and maintaining a stable and resilient anaerobic digestion system
• Learn how to increase methane yields by effectively combining food waste, fats, oils, grease, and other alternative substrates
• Discover techniques to handle the challenges posed by fluctuating waste compositions and substrate loads
• Understand the potential challenges and pitfalls in anaerobic co-digestion and how to overcome them
