[Digestion] Digestion of Honey Waste

[Mike Barnett]

Dear Dr. Karve,

Could another medium be used rather than the limestone?
Would the limestone also affect the ph of the reactor?

Dear Grace,
 You can convert honey into biogas. If the solution is very dilute, you may
have to use the process called anaerobic filter. It consists of packing
limestone chips in the digester to increase the surface area of the digester
 The methanogenic organisms settle on the chips, and as the honey solution
passes through the gaps in the chips, the honey gets converted into methane.

Yours

Hi All, 


Is a dilute honey stream (from a honey processing plant) a suitable
feedstock for a biodigester?


Thanks much
