Abstract:
The anaerobic digestion of fermentable substrate (methanation), under anaerobic conditions leads to biogas generation, which, after purification, could be used for biofuel, electricity and/or heat production. In addition of its important energy potential, methanation has a considerable environmental role, on one hand for the sustainable character of the produced energy, and on the other hand, for the fact that the biomass is often composed of wastes resulted from different sectors.

Objectives:

• Set tools and methods to optimize and control the methanation process under different conditions
• Help in the selection, the design and the characterisation of large scale installations

  Abstract: The Microbian Fuel Cell allows to transform directly chemical energy contained in organic components (biomass) into electrical energy. Micro-organisms form a biofilm by colonizing of conductor surfaces and act as an oxydation catalyst responsible of electron production. Electrons (...)
