Use of a Hydraulic Flush Reactor in a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion Process for Biodegradable Municipal Waste (2009)
Journal Article
Walker, M., Banks, C. J., & Heaven, S. (2009). Use of a Hydraulic Flush Reactor in a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion Process for Biodegradable Municipal Waste. Environmental Engineering Science, 26(11), 1599-1606. https://doi.org/10.1089/ees.2009.0021

Performance of a hydrolysis reactor in which the solids and liquid retention times were uncoupled to give enhanced solids retention and removal of hydrolysis products was evaluated for a feedstock of biodegradable municipal waste (BMW). The reactor w... Read More about Use of a Hydraulic Flush Reactor in a Two-Stage Anaerobic Digestion Process for Biodegradable Municipal Waste.

Potential errors in the quantitative evaluation of biogas production in anaerobic digestion processes (2009)
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.

Two-stage anaerobic digestion of biodegradable municipal solid waste using a rotating drum mesh filter bioreactor and anaerobic filter (2009)
Journal Article
Walker, M., Banks, C., & Heaven, S. (2009). Two-stage anaerobic digestion of biodegradable municipal solid waste using a rotating drum mesh filter bioreactor and anaerobic filter.

Development of a coarse membrane bioreactor for two-stage anaerobic digestion of biodegradable municipal solid waste (2009)
Journal Article
Walker, M., Banks, C. J., & Heaven, S. (2009). Development of a coarse membrane bioreactor for two-stage anaerobic digestion of biodegradable municipal solid waste. Water science and technology : a journal of the International Association on Water Pollution Research, 59(4), 729-735. https://doi.org/10.2166/wst.2009.012

A laboratory-scale coarse membrane bioreactor was developed to test its potential for the enhanced degradation of biodegradable municipal (solid) waste. The purpose of the mesh was to retain solid substrate and biomass in the reactor, promoting optim...
