Methane production enhancement from Tetraselmis biomass co-digestion using frying oil residue as co-substrate and ultrasonication as pretreatment by Firas, Feki

“…Interestingly, compared to untreated Tetraselmis biomass, sonication pretreatment using specific energy of 1.6 kJ/g VS significantly improved specific methane production by 60.5%. However, increasing specific energy sonication to 3.2 kJ/g VS decreased the positive energy balance of whole process from 8.6 to 5.5 ± 0.3 kJ/g VS. …”
