Modelling the anaerobic digestion of solid organic waste – Substrate characterisation method for ADM1 using a combined biochemical and kinetic parameter estimation approach (2016)
Journal Article
Poggio, D., Walker, M., Nimmo, W., Ma, L., & Pourkashanian, M. (2016). Modelling the anaerobic digestion of solid organic waste – Substrate characterisation method for ADM1 using a combined biochemical and kinetic parameter estimation approach. Waste Management, 53, 40-54. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.wasman.2016.04.024

This work proposes a novel and rigorous substrate characterisation methodology to be used with ADM1 to simulate the anaerobic digestion of solid organic waste. The proposed method uses data from both direct substrate analysis and the methane producti...

Assessment and parameter identification of simplified models to describe the kinetics of semi-continuous biomethane production from anaerobic digestion of green and food waste (2016)
Journal Article
Owhondah, R. O., Walker, M., Ma, L., Nimmo, B., Ingham, D. B., Poggio, D., & Pourkashanian, M. (2016). Assessment and parameter identification of simplified models to describe the kinetics of semi-continuous biomethane production from anaerobic digestion of green and food waste. Bioprocess and biosystems engineering, 39(6), 977-992. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00449-016-1577-x

Biochemical reactions occurring during anaerobic digestion have been modelled using reaction kinetic equations such as first-order, Contois and Monod which are then combined to form mechanistic models. This work considers models which include between...
