Mathematical Model of a Thermophilic Anaerobic Digestion for Methane Production of Wheat Straw

This paper presents a newly created mathematical model of thermophilic anaerobic digestion of wheat straw carried out in a 2 dm3 bioreactor for methane production. Two batch processes, with 30 mL/dm3 and 35 mL/dm3 organic load, are carried out—one set for parameter identification and one set for mod...

Zusammenfassung:This paper presents a newly created mathematical model of thermophilic anaerobic digestion of wheat straw carried out in a 2 dm3 bioreactor for methane production. Two batch processes, with 30 mL/dm3 and 35 mL/dm3 organic load, are carried out—one set for parameter identification and one set for model verification. The identification of model parameter values is based on dynamical experiments. It is fulfilled using two different techniques: deterministic sequential quadratic programming algorithm and metaheuristic genetic algorithm. Verification of the developed mathematical models is conducted based on the different data sets of the process. Both models predict the set of the experimental data for all considered process variables well. Genetic algorithm visually fits the data with a higher degree of accuracy, as confirmed by the numerical results for the objective function value.
