The effect of temperature and retention time on methane production and microbial community composition in staged anaerobic digesters fed with food waste

Abstract Background Food waste is a large bio-resource that may be converted to biogas that can be used for heat and power production, or as transport fuel. We studied the anaerobic digestion of food waste in a staged digestion system consisting of separate acidogenic and methanogenic reactor vessel...
