17 Feb Optimum energy integration of thermal hydrolysis through pinch analysis
ABSTRACT Anaerobic digestion, a well-established technology to generate biogas from sewage sludge, is constrained by the hydrolysis (or solubilization) stage. Several pretreatments attempt to overcome this limitation, with thermal hydrolysis emerging as the technology of choice due to its techno-economic advantages. The objective of this work is to optimize...
