Mesophilic, Anaerobic Digestion in a Full-Scale, Commercial Biogas Reactor Kills Seeds More Efficiently than Lab-Scale Systems

When plant biomass is anaerobically digested, seeds may survive the energy production process and contaminate the digestate. Hard-seeded (HS), i.e., physically dormant, species were found to be difficult to inactivate. Here, we aimed to verify this finding from lab-scale experimental reactors (ERs)...
