| description | Abstract The current global concern is how to replace polluting fossil fuels with sustainable green fuels. On this basis, in this study, a characterization protocol for sewage sludge in Algeria was carried out. Their objective was to study the process of anaerobic digestion for biogas production by analogy to experiments that have already been made in the literature. The performance of the proposed models has been validated with experimental data from the scientific literature. Biodegradable organic matter levels are high (160–500 mg L−1) giving an acceptable yield for biogas production. The modeling of cumulative biogas production was carried out by Gompertz and models were proposed for different products. It has been observed that there is a better agreement of the models proposed with the experimental data with a maximum value of r2 = 0.9996. The modeling of the degradation of organic matter was carried out by the first order‐model, and dimensionless models were proposed. The latter gave a good agreement with the experimental data better than the model in the literature, with a maximum value of r2 = 0.9985. The proposed models to study the anaerobic digestion process of organic matter, as well as those related to the process of cumulative biogas production, are universal (without units of measurement), which will help producers in this field to improve production, as well as reduce the investment cost through preliminary simulations. |
