Journal Article
Walker, M., Zhang, Y., Heaven, S., & Banks, C. (2009). Potential errors in the quantitative evaluation of biogas production in anaerobic digestion processes. Bioresource technology : biomass, bioenergy, biowastes, conversion technologies, biotransformations, production technologies, 100(24), 6339-6346. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biortech.2009.07.018

Errors that are commonly made in the quantification of biogas from anaerobic digestion experiments were investigated.

For liquid displacement gasometers where a barrier solution separates the biogas and the atmosphere, inaccuracy due to gas diffus... Read More about Potential errors in the quantitative evaluation of biogas production in anaerobic digestion processes.
