Digestion of high ammonia containing wastes
One of the main causes for imbalance in Danish biogas plants is the high ammonia load. Ammonia is mainly inhibiting acetate-utilizing methanogens. There is however another pathway, the acetate oxidation pathway, where acetate is converted to CH4, which is less liable to ammonia inhibition. We’ll develop a new approach to avoid ammonia inhibition
