LCFA inhibition in biogas: reversible adsorption and DIET
LCFA inhibition in biogas is not a poisoning: it is a physical and reversible phenomenon. The long-chain fatty acids (LCFAs) released by fats adsorb onto the membrane of the microorganisms and block substrate transport. Above 100-200 mg/L the process slows down, but an acclimated consortium recovers in 5-15 days. Three levers make it possible to […]
