The rapid increase in the world population has caused an enormous increase in the demand of energy. Growing demand has resulted in a shortfall in conventional energy resources. Due to that and because of the major negative impacts of fossil fuel on the environment and other aspects as well, the necessity toward finding alternative cheap, renewable, and environmentally friendly energy resources has significantly arose. Biomass as an energy resource has a potential to be a good alternative for non-renewable energy resources. Anaerobic digestion process is one of the most commonly biological conversion process used in converting biomass into biofuels. It has been extensively applied in many studies for converting several types of feedstocks and has proved its significant effectiveness. (AD) digestates are generally composed of solid and liquid streams. Those streams are rich in nutrients.. View More»
