What is it about?
This work evaluated the redesign of an Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) bioreactor to increase biogas production from anaerobic digestion of vinasse and compared the redesign UASB bioreactor with a conventional UASB design.

Why is it important?
Our findings show that the modified UASB bioreactor increased the production of methane in a 15.76 % and in a 13 % the percentage of methane in the mixture of biogas produced, generating an increased 19.4 % the calorific value of biogas compared to the conventional UASB bioreactor. The modified UASB bioreactor generated effluents with a percentage of COD removal of 93%.
Perspectives
Writing this article was a great pleasure as it has co-authors with whom I have had long standing collaborations. I hope this article encourage further research in the redesign of bioreactors to generate new and better designs that allow to take advantage of the generation of bioenergy from waste.
