  • Methane production from cheese whey over longer period may be interrupted by microelements restrictions
    Stres, Blaž ...
    Biogas is the main product of the anaerobic digestion and presents an alternative to fossil fuels. Cheese whey (CW) is a by-product from cheese production and presents one of those energy-rich ... products that can improve biogas production. The yearly production of CW is more than 40.5 million tons globally. According Eurostat in year 2020 56.493.720 tons of cheese whey was produced in the EU. In this work the feasibility of using CW in anaerobic co-digestion of mixtures of wastewater sludge (WWS) and cow manure (CM) by estimating the benefits or adverse effects on methane production is explored. Further a simple kinetic model to simulate methane production for the mixtures of WWS, CW and CM was created, calibrated, tested and validated. The model is simple, easily extensible and can be adapted and used in research and industrial practice...
