Treatment of sugarcane vinasse in AnMBR and UASB

Process performance and microbial community comparison

Vinasse is a by-product of sugarcane processing which is often used in fertigation; however, the direct use of vinasse harms the environment and reduces soil productivity due to its physicochemical properties. Anaerobic digestion (AD) offers an alternative to mitigate part of the ...
Vinasse, a by-product of ethanol production, is generated at significant rates. While rich in nutrients such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium, its high solids, organic matter, acidity, and sulfate content pose challenges when disposed directly on soil, necessitating treatment ...
