Abstract

Nowadays, biogas has been widely produced commercially from different waste materials worldwide. The composition and structure of the raw materials used have a significant effect on the rate and yield of biogas production. Therefore, to optimize the process design and yield, different analytical methods are necessary. In this chapter, the most important analytical methods related to the anaerobic digestion process and produced biogas measurement are presented. More specifically, the methods used for characterizing feedstock including, the determination of total solids (TS) and volatile solids (VS), structural carbohydrates and lignin, elemental composition, and chemical oxygen demand (COD), are discussed. Moreover, the most important standard theoretical and experimental procedures used to obtain biochemical methane potential (BMP) are reviewed.
