Anaerobic co-digestion: fundamentals, benefits and mixture design

Anaerobic co-digestion means digesting two or more substrates at once in the same reactor instead of just one. Well designed, it balances the digester diet: one substrate provides what the other lacks (carbon, nitrogen, moisture, micronutrients), which stabilises the process and raises methane production by 15-30% against single-substrate operation. The key lies in the C/N […]
