Abstract:
This work presents the study, he numerical simulation, and some experimental analysis of anaerobic
bioreactors as well as the estimation of the produced annual energy.
A mathematical model corresponding to biotechnological processes of two-phase anaerobic digestion
has been implemented to simulate the bioreactor operation. Simulation results allow understanding the
degradation of the substrate, the growth of bacteria, and the production of methane.
On the other hand, to size a bioreactor, it is necessary to estimate its produced annual energy. To this
purpose, we consider a completely mixed continuous anaerobic digester in steady state operation
according to Chen-Hashimoto model. This model enables to link the annual produced energy with
respect to the bioreactor characteristics and to the input products
