AD reactors are an established technology that are used to treat organic waste (liquid or solid carbon content wastes). The product of this process is biogas, which consists of methane (50-75%) and carbon dioxide (25-50%). The generated gas could be used for generating electricity, heating purposes, or upgrading to the same quality of natural gas. In this study, the team wanted to evaluate the efficacy of using vegetable waste from on-campus dining services as the primary feedstock for the AD process. Solid vegetable waste was gathered and blended. A benchtop scale of the process was performed.
