The Types, Structure and Design of Small-Scale Bioreactors Producing Biogas

Chapter 4 includes the designing of the small bioreactors, their types and constructions used in the world; however, more attention is provided to the small bioreactors that were designed and constructed by the authors of the book. The design differences between the bioreactors of continuous and periodic type are discussed. The new models of the small bioreactors with the constructive decisions of waste input system to minimize energy used for the feeding process and reduction of the oxygen amount that enters the system are presented and described in-depth. The effect of upscaling from the model to the prototype level is described.
