Annotation -

The subject of this course is introducing students to biotechnological methods of biogas production (mixture of methane and carbon dioxide) and methods of biomethane production treatment. Biogas is one of the renewable energy sources. The benefit of these technologies is that biogas is produced from biodegradable waste materials, possibly from purpose-grown plant biomass. Participants will be introduced to the basic principles of biogas formation, properties and possible applications. Furthermore, they will be introduced to the actual biogas production technology and the technological specifics of biogas plants for processing different types of substrates. For the further use of biogas, its treatment by removing undesirable components of biogas (sulphane, water vapour, etc.) is important. The subject also includes the issue of upgrading biogas to biomethane by removing carbon dioxide from biogas and its biological conversion to biomethane.

Aim of the course -

Students will be able to:

Understand principles of anaerobic fermentation and factors influencing it

Characterize the substrates suitable for biogas production in anaerobic fermentors, both in terms of degradability, possibility of utilization and influence of our and EU legislation

Assess the suitability of individual substrates for use in specific anaerobic technologies (anaerobic reactors for wastewater treatment plants, biogas plants)

based on individual input data type design the technological line of biogas plants and calculate technological parameters and biogas production

understand the problems of biohydrogen production
