This book presents a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion (TSAD) technique
for producing hydrogen and methane, following a step-by-step
approach in order to guide readers through the experimental
verification of the related hypothesis. In the first stage of AD,
the reaction conditions are optimized to obtain the maximum amount
of hydrogen, while in the second the liquid residue from the first
phase is used as a substrate to produce fuel-methane. AD has
traditionally been used to reduce the organic content of waste;
this results in a biogas that is primarily constituted of CH4 and
CO2. Over the last few decades, the conversion of organic matter
into hydrogen by means of AD and selecting Hydrogen Producing
Bacteria (HPB) has matured into a viable and sustainable technology
among the pallet of H2 generation technologies. The combined
bio-production of hydrogen and methane from Organic Waste Materials
(OWM) is considered to be an ideal way of utilizing waste, and can
increase energy efficiency (the substrate Heat Value converted into
H2 and CH4 fuel) to roughly 80%, since the energy efficiency of
H2-production alone (15%) is not energetically competitive. The two
gas streams can be used either separately or in combination (Hytane
(R)), be supplied as civilian gas or used for transportation
purposes. All the aspects of this sustainable technology are taken
into account, from the basic biochemical implications to
engineering aspects, establishing the design criteria and the
scale-up procedures for full-scale application. The sustainability
of the TSAD method is assessed by applying EROI (Energy Return On
Investment) and EPT (Energy Payback Time) criteria, and both the
general approach and application to the field of Anaerobic
Digestion are illustrated.
