Influence of Environmental Factors

  • Chapter
Anaerobic Digestion Processes in Industrial Wastewater Treatment

Part of the book series: Biotechnology Monographs ((BIOTECHNOLOGY,volume 2))

Abstract

Several environment factors can affect anaerobic digestion, either by enhancing or inhibiting parameters such as specific growth rate, decay rate, gas production, substrate utilisation, start-up and response to changes in input.
