Abstract

The paper investigates the mathematical modeling of anaerobic fermentation for the utilization of animal wastes. It analyzes various approaches to the mathematical modeling of anaerobic digestion processes. However, most of the models previously proposed do not take into account a number of key parameters such as the levels of micro and macronutrientls (such as K, Na, Ca, Mg, Mo, etc.), values of volatile fatty acids, C/N ratio, pH levels, extent of grinding, moisture, and others. This paper proposes a new mathematical model of anaerobic fermentation under industrial scale conditions. The model was developed on the basis of regression analysis and correlation. It found empirical relationships between biogas yield and 26 different parameters. These parameters are measured by appropriate biosensors in industrial production. Some of them have more significant influence on the fermentation process than others. Overall, the developed mathematical model has the potential to provide useful insights into biogas production and can be used to optimize anaerobic fermentation processes.
