BARRERA-CARDOSO, Ernesto L. et al. Systematization of theoretical aspects on full scale anaerobic digestion technologies. RTQ [online]. 2018, vol.38, n.1, pp.29-45. ISSN 2224-6185.

In Cuba, the development of biogas production at the full scale has been limited by lack of knowledge about the existing technologies. In this paper the theoretical aspects of biogas production technologies at the full scale are systematized, taking into account five basic steps: pretreatment of substrates; anaerobic digestion; post-treatment of effluents; biogas purification; and power generation. Biodegradable wastes with high (= 15%) and low solids contents (= 15%), as well as complex (high levels of lignin) could be treated with the alternatives described, producing energy as electricity, heat or combustible.

Palabras clave : biogas production; full scale; technological aspects; biodegradable wastes.
