  Comparison of the mesophilic and thermophilic anaerobic sludge digestion from an energy perspective 

  Ferrer Martí, Ivet; Vázquez, Felícitas; Font Segura, Xavier (Destech, 2011)
  Conference report
  Open Access

  Anaerobic digestion promotes simultaneous sludge stabilisation and bioenergy generation. Increasing the net energy production would contribute in reducing the energy demand of sewage treatment plants. Thermophilic digestion ...

  When properly designed, pretreatment may enhance the methane potential and/or anaerobic digestion rate, allowing better digester performance. The purpose of this paper is to give guidelines and present a rationale on ...
• Evaluación energética de la digestión anaerobia termofílica con pre-tratamiento térmico de los fangos a 70 ºC 

  Ferrer Martí, Ivet; Serrano, E.; Ponsá, S.; Vázquez, Felícitas; Font Segura, Xavier (2008)
  Conference report

  La digestión anaerobia termofílica (50-55 ºC) es más eficiente que la mesofílica (35-40 ºC) en términos de destrucción de sólidos, producción de biogás y eliminación de patógenos [1]. El proceso se puede acelerar mediante ...
• Tratamiento de lodos de depuradora con lechos de macrófitos acuáticos 

  Uggetti, Enrica; Llorens Ribes, Esther; Pedescoll Albacar, Anna; Ferrer Martí, Ivet; Castellnou, Roger; García Serrano, Joan (2008)
  Conference lecture

  This study was carried out in response to the growing interest on household biogas digesters in Latin America, particularly in rural Andean communities. The aim was to compare traditional and novel digester designs, in ...
• Comparing pretreatment methods to improve the methane yield of microalgae grown in wastewater 

  Passos, Fabiana Lopes del Rei; Ferrer Martí, Ivet (2013)
  Conference report
  Restricted access - publisher's policy

  Microalgae have recently drawn attention as a potential resource for biofuels generation. In the short term, anaerobic digestion seems the most viable downstream process. Still, microalgae cell wall restrains the hydrolysis, ...
