There is quite a bit of activity going on in the University of Southampton Labs on both flat sheet and hollow fibre Anaerobic Membrane Bioreactors. Take a look at this video on the University of Southampton Environmental Lab Facebook page.
This is just a sample of some of the international research which will be showcased at the above event.

The Anaerobic Digestion Network is offering a limited number of Travel Bursaries for Early Career Researchers (ECRs) to attend the above event to be held on 21-24th Aug 16 at the University of Szeged in Hungary. The Anaerobic Digestion Network can fund travel and accommodation expenses up to £1500 to present at major events in the AD calendar. If you are an Early Career Researcher, are presenting at an event in the UK or overseas, simply fill in our application form at: http://www.anaerobicdigestionnet.com/funding
The next meeting in the successful Biogas Science conference series will be held in Szeged, Hungary on 21-24 Aug 16 at the modern conference centre in the University of Szeged in the south-eastern part of Hungary. Topics include the latest and future trends in biogas research and development, industrial applications, life cycle analysis and biogas/biomethane utilisation. More information can be found at http://www.biogas-science-2016.hu
The third Conference of the European Biogas Association will take place September 27-29, 2016 in Gent, Belgium and will cover a broad range of topics related to biogas and biomethane from anaerobic digestion and gasification. Venue and programme details will be announced in the coming months. The 2016 edition is organized in close collaboration with Ghent University. More information can be found on their website.
The European Biomass Conference and Exhibition (EUBCE) is a world class annual event which has been held at different venues throughout Europe since 1980.
It is Europe’s largest international conference focused on biomass combining a highly-respected international scientific conference with an industrial exhibition and gathers participants from research, industry, policy and business of biomass.
With the growth of anaerobic digestion, there is ample opportunity to showcase research. Abstract submission closes 30 October 15 and further information can be found here.
The Environmental Labs at the University of Southampton have just completed our first Business Interaction Voucher (BIV) project in conjunction with Permastore Ltd. The work involved development of a test procedure for materials to be used in advanced anaerobic digestion applications, including at thermophilic temperatures and in harsh conditions where the process may become unstable or fail. Testing was based on continuous simulation in 35-litre anaerobic digesters, and has provided comprehensive data that would not be available from simple batch tests. An innovative side-stream ammonia stripping system was used to control digestion parameters and provide a wide range of reactor conditions. This BIV was funded by BBSRC through the Anaerobic Digestion Network.
Information on all the work done in the Environmental Labs can be found on their Facebook page.
You too can benefit from such funding for academic help: see www.anaerobicdigestionnet.com/funding for more information.
There is still time to register for one of the major conferences in the AD calendar, with a wide range of seminars, workshops and training opportunities.
