Question

What is the first stage in the bio decomposition in the anaerobic digester?

Answer 1

Anaerobic Digestion:

1. Anaerobic digestion is a process in which microorganisms, especially bacteria, decompose organic matter such as animal manure, wastewater biosolids, and food wastes without oxygen into biogas.
2. This biogas consists of methane, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
3. This type of digestion takes place in the specified reactors or vessels, they are anaerobic digesters which include continuous stirred-tank reactors, internal circulation reactors, etc.
4. Decomposition of organic matter involves breaking the chains and dissolving small molecules into solutions.
5. This process uses hydrolytic enzymes, and it is called Hydrolysis,
6. So hydrolysis of high-molecular-weight polymeric components is the first step in the Bio Decomposition in the Anaerobic Digester.
7. Anaerobic digestion takes place by a series of four processes, namely hydrolysis, acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis
8. Microorganisms used in Anaerobic digestion are Enterobacter and Streptococcus.
