improved pre-treatments such as selective enzyme utilisation. Can the
metabolic capacity and volumetric productivity of digesters be further
increased by using supplements and co-factors to promote the activities of
the anaerobic consortium or do we look to isolating and exploiting hitherto
unrecognised methanogens that can work and grow faster in certain
conditions, allowing higher loadings to be achieved without loss of
conversion efficiency? The next 10 years may bring at least preliminary
answers to many of these exciting questions, which will help to further
optimise AD plant performance.
