Biogas Production Modeling
Biogas production modeling is a quantitative method to predict methane and carbon dioxide generation from anaerobic digestion of organic residues (wastewater sludge, food waste, agricultural manure, slaughterhouse waste). Developed from microbial kinetics and thermodynamics, these models account for substrate composition, microbial consortia (acetogens, methanogens), process conditions (temperature, pH, retention time), and inhibition factors (ammonia, volatile fatty acids). Biogas modeling supports reactor design, energy recovery planning, and operational optimization.
