Dynamic modeling and parameter estimation of biomethane production from microalgae co-digestion.

This work proposes a dynamic modeling procedure applied to biomethane production from microalgae residual co-digestion. A two-stage anaerobic digestion representation is selected, considering acidogenesis and methanogenesis as main reaction pathways. Based on the experimental database generated in the University of Mons Laboratories, several candidate models, assuming the presence or absence of biomass dynamics, are suggested, and parametric structural and local identifiability studies are performed.
