Abstract

This chapter presents a brief and practical overview on the operation, process, and troubleshooting of biogas production systems with a focus on plants running on municipal solid wastes. Moreover, the chapter also illustrates the prominent different operational aspects of such plants with a glance on the most important issues for troubleshooting and controlling of the systems. Various topics viz. mechanical pretreatment, temperature control, pressure control, gas composition monitoring, visual control, pH control, mixers and mixing management, pumps, digester covers, a number of must-control compounds including volatile fatty acids and heavy metals, as well as foam and scum are critically explained.
