  1. 1. Production and analysis of novel disulfide variants of Subtilisin Carlsberg

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Kemi

    Author : Anton Elfstrand; [2023]
    Keywords : Subtilisin Carlsberg; Disulfide; Protein Engineering; Kinetic Stability;

    Abstract : Protein engineering has been used to alter the stability of proteins for several decades withmuch success, one approach being to introduce two cysteine residues that together form adisulfide bridge. The disulfide bridge can increase the Gibbs free energy of the transitionstate, thus increasing energy difference between the folded state and the unfolding transitionstate, leading to increased kinetic stability of the protein.

  2. 2. Anaerobic Co-digestion of steam pretreated wheat straw and sewage sludge

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (master); Lunds universitet/Bioteknik (CI)

    Author : Virginia Tosi; [2021]
    Keywords : Anaerobic co-digestion; wheat straw pretreatment; nutrients availability; OLR; VFA acumulation; Biotechnology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion (AD) of wastes and residues is a widely applied and explored process. However, when the process is not optimized, inadequate concentrations of nutrients and inhibitory compounds are common and can lead to low maximum organic loading rates and increased risk of process problems, low organic dry solids degradation rate and reduced methane yields.

  3. 3. Comparison of mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic sludge digestion at Hammarby Sjöstadsverk MBR pilot plant for wastewater treatment

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Jessica Sellin; [2021]
    Keywords : Anaerobic digestion; sludge; wastewater treatment; thermophilic; mesophilic; stress test;

    Abstract : Anaerobic digestion is a commonly used method for stabilisation of sewage sludge and production of biogas at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The hydraulic retention time for sludge in the digestion reactors is about 16 days at Henriksdal WWTP in Stockholm. READ MORE

  4. 4. Stabilizing biogas processes at high ammonia : effects of acetate pulse-feeding on the microbial population

    University essay from SLU/Department of Molecular Sciences

    Author : Oscar Dolk; [2020]
    Keywords : biogas; anaerobic digestion; ammonia inhibition; acetate enrichment;

    Abstract : This study investigated the problem of ammonia inhibition in biogas reactors, commonly occurring when protein rich substrates are used in anaerobic digestion processes. Ammonia inhibition is one of the foremost causes of failure in anaerobic digestion, leading to process instability, with symptoms commonly expressed as; reduction in biogas produced, decreased methane content in the gas and accumulation of volatile fatty acids.

  5. 5. Investigations of the Effects of Lowering the Temperature in Full Scale Mesophilic Biogas Digesters at a Wastewater Treatment Plant

    University essay from Linköpings universitet/Tema Miljöförändring

    Author : Ella Wilhelmsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Biogas; digesters; wastewater treatment plant; lowering the temperature; energy;

    Abstract : This thesis has investigated the effects of running the two full scale biogas digesters at Slottshagen wastewater treatment plant at 34 °C compared to 37 °C, in terms of process stability, biogas production and energy savings with the aim of saving energy and money by not heating the digesters as much. The main objective was to investigate whether it is at all possible to operate the biogas process at 34 °C or if the process becomes inhibited or otherwise unstable. READ MORE
