Effects of hydraulic retention time on anaerobic digestion performance of food waste to produce methane as a biofuel

Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a promising technology for treating food waste, as it has high energy recovery and controls environmental problems. The biogasification performance of food waste was observed by changing the process parameters such as hydraulic retention time (HRT) and organic loading rate (OLR). A continuously stirred tank reactor (CSTR) was operated to investigate one-phase anaerobic digestion performance of food waste due to its...
