Bioelectrochemically assisted anaerobic digestion system for biogas upgrading and enhanced methane production

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of biofilm and external voltage on the performance and microbial community composition of batch-fed, combined anaerobic digestion-bioelectrochemical cell (AD-BEC) systems under different operational conditions. A dextrin/peptone mixture was fed at a range of organic loading rates (0.34 to 1.37 g COD/L-d). The hybrid system with both suspended biomass and biofilm without any external...
