- W3174879916 abstract "Throughout past decades, the management of solid waste by producing methane gas, as a renewable source of energy, has featured as an important research objective. Anaerobic digesters are widely used in countries with environmental initiatives and green approaches, where biogas produced from a bioreactor is a carbon neutral source of energy. Biogas contains 70% methane, 30% CO2 and some other gases. The by-product of an anaerobic digester is solid sludge that can be used as either fertilizer or compost.Anaerobic digestion biogas plants can benefit industries by adding value to solid organic waste, reducing fossil fuel usage, eliminating solid waste disposal costs, in addition to generating power. Setting up an anaerobic digestion biogas plant is a green investment for industries interested in environmentally friendly biological processes. A variety of organic solid waste including municipal, industrial, livestock, poultry, meat, and food waste can be digested in an anaerobic system.To treat the large volume of waste generated by industries and urban sewerage systems, more efficient digesters and a continuous improvement of digestion processes are required. To accomplish these objectives, crucial factors including the size, design, and shape of a bioreactor, its working temperature, pH and the hydrodynamics of a system need to be studied. A considerable amount of literature has been published regarding the hydrodynamics of anaerobic digesters. Further, several studies have explored the factors thought to influence the hydrodynamics of anaerobic digesters. These studies have identified that the hydrodynamics of a system could be influenced by the rheological characteristics of sludge, as well as mixer type and shape. Inadequate and poor mixing in a digester can cause the failure of a reactor, non-uniform distribution of mass and heat, imbalanced microbial activity, as well as formation of sediment and scum. Although studies have successfully demonstrated that close-clearance mixers (screw, helical, anchor impellers) increase biogas production, the information about hydrodynamic characteristics and flow field generated by these types of agitators is inadequate. Although hydrodynamics and the rheology of sludge have been studied in the past, more research is required to address these gaps. The application of visual and measuring instruments could facilitate further research on sludge behaviour in an agitated anaerobic digester, but this type of study is not possible due to the opaque nature of real sludge.The main objectives of this project are (i) to find a safe, cheap, clear and stable material that can emulate digested sludge rheological characteristics in a laboratory; (ii) to study and optimize the mixing performance of a dual helical ribbon as an efficient impeller to create an ideal mixing pattern (iii) to investigate the flow pattern and hydrodynamics of a shear thinning fluid in a batch gas-liquid reactor using a combination of a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation and a population balance model…" @default.
